Very Odd (And Sometimes Disturbing) Vintage And Antique Postcards

Found on the internet, weird vintage postcards from 1880 to 1960. I cannot verify that they are all genuine, but I found them humorous. Images do not belong to me. There was a thing for very rude postcards in the 1930s, through the 60s, which was certainly a common thing and shouldn't be left out from the post card trends, however these are not appropriate and as such I didn't include them.


  1. Radish Man


2. Fruit People


3. Sorrowful Egg People (why are all the French ones this weird)


4. What is going on here? Cannibalism or a brutal execution?


5. This is, quite frankly, disturbing


6. Why are the birds rioting? And why is "lighten" in quotation marks?


7. Dear goodness, what is that thing?


8. A fully corseted Victorian chicken


9. The slippers on the kangaroo feet are adorable though


10. This is the most disturbing to me. It shows an anti-suffrage figure compared to a "scrawny suffragette". Compared to the vegetable people, this is actually horrifying, and even in pro-suffrage postcards at the time, there are rarely any Black women included.


These images do not belong to me, and have been gathered from various sources. I hope you enjoyed!
