EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this lively and humorous depiction of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, during his campaign trail in Colorado in 1908! This vintage postcard, titled "Prosperity," adds a playful twist to the historical moment with the exaggerated addition of massive, piles of vegetables. The future President stands confidently on the back of a railway carriage, delivering an oration to a large crowd of voters. The unusual scene is further enhanced by the presence of oversized onions, cabbages, corn, and sweetcorn, which could be interpreted as a celebration of Colorado's abundant bounty or a promise of prosperity under Taft's leadership. The image exudes an air of enthusiasm and excitement, capturing the spirit of the election season. With the crowd gathered around the hustings, eager to hear Taft's speech, this postcard offers a fun and lighthearted glimpse into American history.
