Abstract:
Postcard featuring two caricatures of African descent, one male and one female. The man is dressed in a military outfit and the woman in a white Red Cross uniform with blue stripes. The caption appears to show a dialogue between the two about the man's war injuries in both a broken (parodied?) English and normal French. This card is part of Inter-Art Company's "Comique" series of comic World War I postcards.
