Exaggerated Postcards

Wow! how lovely, Don.

I posted these in "Do any of you have any "Fish Story" postcards?

When I saw this thread, I knew they belonged here!

Port Richmond NY is now a neighborhood on Staten Island, part of New York City.

Here's some Texas corn

I found some big fish that needed to join this thread!

An Apple to go with the fish?

Cabbage!
Pleasant Lake, Indiana post office photo to show the background street scene is real.

"Parcels Post" theme. One of my favorite exaggeration sets. The two which are used are dated in the fall of 1914. I believe this is the full set. They also come with various town names added toward the top.

Asparagus on toast? Methinks they stretched a bit to make that rhyme. :-D

Nope.

Veggie toasted sandwich with asparagus and some mayonaise is quite tasty.

Prefer my asparagus with a roast.

John Becker: Interesting RPPC early "Photoshop"

Such fun filled posts. Brightened my day! Thanks ikey Pikey!!

I hate to break that bad news to several posters here...your postcards of oversized veggies, etc all appear to be hand painted rather than honest-to-God real photographs. I submit three real photo postcards to show what actually was factual. Remember that Photoshop wasn't released until the 1970's. The cards I show are from the 1910s so they must be true images of crops actually grown back then

I remember watermelons like that back when I was a wee lad. We had to roll them all the way home and they took forever to eat!
