Exaggeration Mammoth Strawberries Railroad Car Edward Mitchell Postcard Fantasy For Sale

This is a classic American exaggeration fantasy postcard from Edward H. Mitchell of San Francisco, showing a Southern Pacific flatcar loaded with two enormous strawberries dwarfing the railroad car marked S.P. 79482. Exaggeration postcards like these were a beloved novelty in the early 1900s, poking fun at the booming agricultural bounty of California and the West by depicting outrageously oversized fruit and vegetables riding the rails. The card is titled \'A Carload of Mammoth Strawberries From\' with a blank line for the sender to fill in their town, and carries the Edward H. Mitchell copyright. Please examine all aspects of the postcard for condition and information regarding it before buying.
