It's Spring and A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY TURNS TO...


...apparently blackmail.

Yes, love is in the air and so are geeks with cameras taking photos of your every move. This is a warning to all of those people having out of marriage trysts through online dating. Someone is bound to be watching...and scheming.

This card, with the creepy brother in the bushes, was published by Bamforth & Co. in 1910. To see other cards by them and read a bit of history see my other post Dear Auntie /Dear Cousin...FROM YOUR BAWDY NIECE / COUSIN.

I thought in honor of the royal takeover of the tv this week, and the finale today, that a card of a young couple being watched by paparazzi seemed apropos.

And it might just be me, but I feel like the whole thing looks a bit Monty Python. Surely the woman is actually Graham Chapman.
