Life Overtakes Art

Life Overtakes Art – circa 1910

The naive artist, standing in the meadow to paint a picture of a bull, is forced to flee when the unruly beast charges the easel.

The bull’s head replaces the image on the canvas. The collapsed easel and abandoned palette lie on the ground.

I have seen other comic postcards with a similar theme of Nature overtaking the efforts of an artist, gardener, farmer, or herdsman.

This comic postcard lacks any indication of printer or publisher; it was not mailed.

Nevertheless, I am confident that the postcard was printed in the United States circa 1910.
