Wish You Were Here, from Grace Drayton

Here’s a Grace Drayton (signing Weiderseim at this time) card from Reinthal & Newman, this one marked #120 on the reverse. The maker hasn’t dated it, but Grace hand-lettered a copyright notice under her name, and dated it 1909.

This one is a play on the then-current fad saying, “I love my wife, but oh you kid.”, immortalized in many postcards by Albert Carmichael.
