Man with automobile and farm implements, Nebraska

A capped man stands beside an open automobile with a high tufted seat, prominent lamps, spoked wheels and a starting crank. Rows of wheeled farm implements with cylindrical hoppers fill the left side of the yard, with a broad rake behind them. Wooden buildings, fences and mature trees enclose the scene.

Grafton, Nebraska, is the supplied location. The postmark confirms mailing from that town, though neither side identifies the particular yard or buildings. The radiator script appears to read “Maxwell”; the car’s model and the man’s identity remain unestablished. No photographer or publisher is credited.

The divided postcard back bears a green one-cent Franklin stamp and a Grafton cancellation dated May 2, 1910, at 9 a.m. It is addressed to “Mr Mrs John Skrdla” at DeWitt, Nebraska, with the final lettering of the town indistinct. A pencil message in Czech fills the correspondence area and extends above the printed heading; several words and the closing signature require further reading.

Creasing with small surface losses at the upper-left corner, corresponding to the upper-right corner on the reverse; otherwise clean and sound.
