Here is a World War I Souvenir of Britain Post Card.   The whimsical Post Card depicts a boyish British Tommy, defending a girlish French civilian with tricolor flag, from a Pickelhaube wearing boyish German.  It is London maker marked as part of the British Series, Interart Company.  It is entitled, "Not Likely" with writing in French about not passing.  The Tommy is protecting lady France from the oncoming Pickelhaube wearing German.  The Art is striking, the color spectacular, and it is artist signed.

It was sent by an American New Hampshire Volunteer Ambulance and Vehicle Driver with British Expeditionary Force.  He would go on to drive for the Italian Expeditionary Force also.  He sent this home as a souvenir to his sister and a niece/nephew.  The sister wrote some provenance in pencil on the back.

The unused Post Card is simply stunning.  It comes from a grouping of letters, numerous French and Italian Post Cards and photos of the driver in his motor car.  I will be listing more of his items in the ensuing couple of weeks.  It is flat out stunning.  The Post Card is in fair condition and is 103 years old.
