This is a postcard that was likely printed using lithography. The design was originally produced by Asheville Post Card Company in North Carolina, although this copy does not specify the publisher. The front features an extremely colorful illustration of two dogs running to greet each other. The handwritten style type reads “I'll Be Doggone Glad to See You!” This particular illustration shows the amount of detail and movement that was possible to show with lithography. It is also a good example of vibrant ink colors and a bold, American-feeling design (without being political or over the top).
