I just struck a deal with an old school friend of mine on Facebook for some WWI postcards he had. I fell in love with them immediately and had to have them!
His pictures are just that pictures but I'll scan them up proper when I get them.
I swapped his pics for my scans
New Scans & 2 new cards !
Some are sort of rough but I love them just the same. These are just oozing with WWI. images and propaganda. Neat-O in my book! Please excuse my labeling system as you can see there was a crap-ton of scanning involved...lol
[Note: The last card picturing the chimpanzee is a WW.II PC.]

"It would seem that the artist was relatively famous back in the day, being none other than Haydon Jones, who had quite a career as a newspaper illustrator:"
Quote:
Haydon Jones (1871-1954) was born in Ohio, and became a fairly well-known and definitely well-traveled illustrator who worked for a series of newspapers, including the New York Mail & Express, the San Francisco Examiner (where he covered a particularly gruesome murder trial, among other things), the New York World when it was owned by Joseph Pulitzer, and the Boston Herald. He also illustrated a number of books.
In 1898 Jones went to Cuba to cover the growing hostilities that eventually became the Spanish-American War, got taken prisoner by the Spanish and was traded back to the Americans, along with another war correspondent, for two Spanish officers.
His wife must have been a very patient and forbearing woman - he was all over the country in what seems like a fairly short time.
