This postcard was neither addressed nor mailed, so there are no personalities connected to it.
Here, we see an interesting photograph of an amorous couple in a secluded spot.
The setting appears to be a park or other natural setting.
A young woman, wearing a long white dress and a flower-bedecked hat, is resting against a young suitor.
Her lover appears to be whispering endearments in her ear or placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.
The young man wears a suit, perhaps a tie – the young lady reclining against his torso obstructs the view.

At first glance, this appeared to be a poorly-taken photograph, but many interesting details can be observed upon closer inspection.
Our hero’s shoe is neatly defined; there are suggestions of a woven pattern in the material of the dress.
Like many postcard photographs, the background is somewhat blurred to better focus our attention on the main subject.
Nevertheless, one can see amazing detail in the leaves, flowers, and other foliage of the landscape.

Above the scene, a headline, in red, announces: “I’M MAKING GOOD”.
The thought is completed below, “IN MONTGOMERY, ALA.”
Montgomery, the city on the Alabama River in central Alabama, is the State capital and was the first capital of the Confederacy.
Today, the city posts an impressive Civil Rights museum.

Other postcards of this kind often use a headline of “I’m Making Good Time”.
Because this is a stock photograph to which a local printer applied a place name, I suspect that one could find the same image with a different title and place name.

The postcard was published by the notable English firm of Bamforth & Co, Ltd.
We have seen several other examples of the humorous postcards produced by this publisher:
“Three of a Kind”, “Single Bliss”, “The Lamb Was Sure to Buy”, “Under the Umbrella”.
I assume that the postcard was collected by some one who was amused by the subject matter or one who never had an occasion to mail a postcard with this theme.
