EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1910s: A Young Man and His Deflated Motorcycle - Things are Pretty Flat Here! This charming comic postcard from the early 1900s captures the spirit of adventure and the occasional mishap that comes with motorcycle riding. The young man, dressed in a peaked cap and gloves, stands next to his motorcycle with a look of determination and perhaps a touch of frustration. His bike, however, tells a different story. The deflated tires, a common issue in the days before modern tire technology, have left the rider stranded. But instead of letting the flat tires dampen his mood, the young man seems to find the situation amusing, as evidenced by the playful wordplay in the postcard's caption. The use of the word "flat" in both the context of the tires and the overall scene adds a clever pun that is still appreciated today. This postcard is a reminder that even in the face of setbacks, a sense of humor and a positive attitude can go a long way.
