A Bear's Delight: A Bare-Faced Steal in the American Countryside, 1906 This delightful postcard, captured by the skilled lens of Grenville Collins, presents an amusing and humorous scene from rural America during the early 1900s. The image showcases a large, bare-faced bear taking a keen interest in the contents of a large metal drum, situated atop a country wagon. The bear's expression conveys a sense of determination and excitement, as if it has discovered a hidden treasure. The title of this postcard, "A Bare-Faced Steal," is a clever play on words, combining the idea of the bear's audacious act with the colloquial term "bare-faced," which can mean both "unadorned" and "unabashed" in this context. The bear's uncovered face and the phrase "bare-faced steal" add to the lighthearted and pun-filled nature of the postcard. The scene is set in the American countryside, with the two-wheeled wagon and the rugged terrain providing a backdrop to the bear's foraging exploits. The large metal drum, which may have contained food or other valuable resources, has piqued the bear's curiosity and appetite. The potential danger and danger inherent in the situation are underscored by the bear's size and the proximity of the wagon, but the overall tone remains light and playful. This postcard offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural world's charm and the wit of the early 1900s. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature, humor, and the simple pleasures of rural life.
