Shipping a Few of Our Peaches

A fruits and vegetables photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

William H. Martin (1865-1940), a Kansas photographer, created this amusing photomontage and published it as a real photo postcard in 1909.

This photo postcard was addressed on the other side to Mr. Alfie Watts, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and postmarked in Lima, Ohio, on Nov. 20, 1910.

Handwritten message: "Lima, Nov. 20/10. Write soon. Friend James. 116 Circular St. W., Lima, Ohio."

I love these old photomontages. And peaches seem to be in a number of them that I've seen anyway. I whole lot more work than how we do it today (though probably more straightforward)

These are always funny and clever. I see them rarely in Vermont - maybe they have all been discovered - or perhaps they more popular in other parts of the country?
They're so creative and wry. And I agree with rain girl - must have been a whole lot of work - pre-photoshop.
