A Young Jockey's Playful Pursuit: A Charming 1930s Postcard This delightful postcard, dated 1934, captures the whimsical spirit of childhood and the enchanting world of horse racing. The image features a young jockey, dressed in his vibrant silks and cap, perched atop a red rocking horse. With a determined expression on his face, he leans forward, reaching out to post a letter into the nearby pillar box. The playful scene is set against the backdrop of the 1930s, with the quaint pillar box adding to the nostalgic charm. The poem inscribed on the card adds an extra layer of fun and humor: "D you know that you owe me a letter? I fear you're an awful forgetter, or are you a jockey to boast how often you're passing the post?" The words encourage the recipient to send a letter soon, while the jockey's merry ride on the rocking horse adds a lighthearted touch to the message. This charming postcard, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a perfect example of the kitsch and quaint appeal of vintage communications. The image of the young jockey, with his toy horse and letter, is both cute and fun, evoking memories of simpler times and the enduring allure of horse racing.
