Postcard

Accession Number:
2001.121
Scope & Content:
Postcard shows a color illustration of an elderly blind man dressed in a black hat, suit, and overcoat, sitting on a park bench in front of a park [?] entrance. A sign that reads "Blind" hangs from his neck, with a silver cup beneath. He is holding a cane in his left hand, and to his right is a black dog. Two young, well-dressed children are approaching him, one with an outstretced hand, to place money in the cup. A woman, who is with the children, watches and waits to the side. The clothing appears to be Victorian-era. Printed at the bottom right corner is "One Touch of Kindness." The back of the unused postcard is divided by a short 1/2 in. line extending beneath the publisher's logo, approx. 7/8 x 1/2 in., of a woman holding a large painter's palette in which is printed "W & K London." Along the left edge is printed "Wildt & Kray, London, N.W. Series No. 1719. Printed in England."
