Wish You Were Here, from August Hutaf

Here’s a card that proves Albert Carmichael did not have the market cornered on “Gee, I Wish I Had a Girl”. Although Carmichael penned lots of ’em, apparently the market could bear one from the pen of August Hutaf, too. Hutaf was best known as a poster and illustration artist, but he dabbled in cartooning as well.

This card was published in 1909 by P. Riche of New York.
