I don't quite know what to make of this card. When I first saw it, I thought that a young man was sneaking by a sleeping father after an assignation with dad's daughter. After scanning and blowing up the image, I realized that there was an unused pillow and an empty spot in the bed. What really got me was when I looked at the back of the card. There's no written message, but there is a name. "Harry Yanknow" Is that a hint? The card was published by "Hamforth & Co. Publishers Holmfrith and New York. (Printed in England.)" The postmark, "CLEVELAND, OHIO AUG 20 1:30 AM 1901" and it was mailed to Mr. E.B. Welch, Vermillion, Ohio, R.F.D. 2" I wonder what Harry and E.B. were up to?
