Summary
  • Cartoon illustration of a man holding a screaming baby. The man is mostly bald except for black tufts of hair above his ears and a single black curl at the top of his head. The baby also has no hair except for the single black curl on the top of the head. The father is wearing blue socks with red slippers and red pants and jacket. The baby is in a white nightgown. Both have their mouths opened wide, but the baby has tears coming out of its eyes, while the man's eyes are open as he looks out through round glasses. Next to the man on the right is part of the caption: "IF MY WIFE IS A SUFFRAGETTE I SHOULD WORRY" and under the scene is the rest: "I should worry." The "I" in "IF" as well as the text under the scene are in red letters. Behind the man to the left is a clock pointing to 1:10 with a swinging pendulum. There is a white sign above the man's head with: "HOME SWEET HOME" printed in black letters. The verso of the postcard is addressed to Miss Esther Zimmerman.
