The reverse side of the postcard is a classic divided back, featuring a clear 1909 San Francisco postmark and a green one-cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp. The handwritten message and address to Stockton, California, add a wonderful layer of personal history to this collectible piece of ephemera. This postcard is a fantastic example of Edwardian-era humor and would make a great addition to any collection focused on cycling history, comic illustrations, or early California postal history.
