Postmarked: Miami, Fla., July 29, 1939. A real photo postcard of a father and son striking an amusing pose with an alligator (a stuffed gator or a statue of one, that is!). For an earlier example of father-son alligator antics, see Father and Son with Alligators :

A distinguished gent in a souvenir real photo postcard from "Miami, Fla., 1922," as it says on the tree stump. Looks like the poor fellow is fending off alligators with his cane as he poses in front of a scenic backdrop of ocean, sky, and coconut tree, all of which received appropriate tinting after the photo was developed. For an untinted photo from the same studio, see Man and Dog with Alligators on the Beach (note that the tree stump is hidden behind the dog).
