Comic illustrated postcard showing two caricature figures labeled “ON THE BOARDWALK.” Each figure has an exaggerated large head and small illustrated body wearing patterned clothing and caps. The figures stand facing forward in a playful pose typical of early twentieth century comic postcard design.
The exaggerated proportions and humorous expressions place the card within a popular genre of novelty caricature postcards sold at seaside resorts and amusement parks. These postcards often referenced boardwalk culture and vacation entertainment.
The front bears the printed text: Caption reading “ON THE BOARDWALK.”. The reverse reads: “Atlantic City Souvenir” postcard printed by Dittrich, Philadelphia. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil numbers written across the address side.
