EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous Take on the Souvenir Postcard Craze of 1906 In this intriguing and amusing cartoon from the October 17, 1906, issue of Puck magazine, Uncle Sam finds himself in the midst of the souvenir postcard craze, surrounded by scenes from far-off lands and fantastical places. The illustration, titled "How Many Have You Sent?", showcases Uncle Sam drowning in a sea of postcards, with scenes from the North Pole, North Africa, Hell, and even Robinson Crusoe on a desert island, all vying for his attention. The cartoon captures the essence of the souvenir postcard craze that swept the nation in the early 1900s. With the advent of affordable postcard production and improved postal services, people could easily collect and share memories of their travels and experiences with friends and family. The postcard became a popular and accessible form of communication and souvenir, leading to a boom in production and consumption. Uncle Sam, the symbol of American patriotism and democracy, represents the average person who has succumbed to the allure of collecting and sending postcards. The various scenes around him highlight the diversity and reach of the postcard craze, with representations of exotic locales and fantastical places. The inclusion of Robinson Crusoe on a desert island adds a touch of whimsy and adventure to the scene. Overall, this cartoon provides a humorous and insightful look into the souvenir postcard craze of 1906 and the role it played in American culture at the time. It captures the excitement and appeal of collecting and sharing memories through postcards, while also poking fun at the potential excess and obsession that could come with it.
