A couple of postcards

I had a truncated look at some paper ephemera while at the Farmer's Market this weekend and bought two postcards.

Carr - 4th of July

The first is by Gene Carr, who did various comic strips, as well as postcards. This one is 4th of July.

Aint' my flag a beaut

The second is Ain't My Flag A Beaut! postcard, a caricature of Old Man Winter or Jack Frost holding an American flag based on Robert Peary's trip to the North Pole in 1909.
