EDITORS COMMENTS
A Bear-faced Steal: Wagon Raided in the USA, 1905" This humorous postcard image captures a curious and unexpected encounter between a pair of brown bears and an unsuspecting wagon in the American wilderness. The wooden wagon, complete with spoked wheels, is shown in the midst of being raided by the two large bears, who seem to be investigating the contents of the barrels with great interest. The bears' expressions suggest a sense of excitement and discovery, as if they have stumbled upon a treasure trove of delicious food. The scene is set in the United States, as indicated by the title and the American flag visible in the background. The image is reminiscent of an earlier time, when the wilderness was still largely untamed and encounters with wildlife were a common occurrence. The use of photography adds to the vintage feel of the postcard, transporting us back to a simpler time. Despite the lighthearted tone of the image, it's important to remember that bears are wild animals and encounters with them should be avoided. These bears seem more interested in the barrels than in any potential danger, but it's always best to give them a wide berth and respect their natural habitat. The exact contents of the barrels remain a mystery, but one can only imagine the bears' delight if they contained honey, fish, or other tasty treats. The situation is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face, making this a fun and funny addition to any collection of vintage postcards.
