This is a vintage political postcard from the late 1980s or early 1990s. The front features a caricature by artist Michael Reed of a stereotypically nerdy or weak-looking man, smiling and waving. He wears glasses, a bow tie, and a campaign-style button that reads "BUSH". The caption at the top reads "Another wimp for Bush.". The postcard is a satirical take on supporters of George H. W. Bush, playing on the 'wimp factor' narrative that was prevalent during his campaigns. The back of the postcard has a handwritten message from "Amy" to "Paula" in Richmond, VA, postmarked from Indianapolis, IN on November 7, 1990. The message discusses the results of recent elections in Indiana. It is printed by Recycled Paper Products, Inc. and has a 15-cent Buffalo Bill Cody postage stamp. |
