The satirical drawing is filled with wit and charm, showcasing the playful interaction between the characters.
The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations bring this early 20th-century postcard to life, highlighting the clever humor of the era. The juxtaposition of innocence and authority is cleverly portrayed through the dialogue between Mary and the policeman, creating a lighthearted moment captured in time.
