EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard print from the early 20th century captures a moment of whimsy and superstition with its depiction of a wish for good luck. The image features an array of traditional symbols associated with luck, including a four-leaf clover, horseshoe, and lucky penny. These elements are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors that pop against the neutral background. The central focus of the composition is an ashtray filled with cigarette butts, hinting at the idea that smoking was once considered a common ritual for invoking good fortune. The presence of tobacco products adds an intriguing layer to this piece, suggesting a connection between smoking addiction and the desire for luck or protection. In addition to these symbolic elements, the postcard also includes snippets of poetry that further enhance its mystical aura. These poetic verses add depth to the image, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of fate, destiny, and chance. Overall, this print exudes a sense of nostalgia for bygone eras when superstitions held sway over daily life. It serves as a reminder of how beliefs in luck and magic have shaped human behavior throughout history.
