Your "Tall Tale and Exaggeration" collection is really impressive. How long have you been collecting these? I don't remember seeing many examples in Vermont.
I like the way that so many of the people are portrayed with such matter of fact expressions next to whatever enormous object or animal that's being featured on the postcard. It reminds me of how comedians make everything funnier with a deadpan delivery.
Alan Mays club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubIn case you're interested, there are two good books on exaggeration postcards--see Tall-tale Postcards: A Pictorial History (1976), by Roger L. Welsch, and Larger Than Life: The American Tall Tale Postcard, 1905-1915 (1990), by Cynthia Elyce Rubin and Morgan Williams.
