Dudley L Buxton, whose name appears beneath the fence on the right, created the scene on the front of this postcard, which is called ‘No thoughts for the Front!’. It depicts a disgruntled-looking boy with a torn pair of shorts. In front of him lie three apples. In the background, behind a fence, is an apple tree bearing a notice stating ‘Trespassers will be prosecuted’. Spikes have been inserted into the fence, and two have impaled the seat of the boy’s shorts. The printed information on the back states, ‘Inter-Art Co., Florence House, Barnes, London. S W / “COMIQUE” Series. No. 1999. / British Manufacture Throughout’. ‘From Dad at Birkenhead with Best Love and Wishes xxxxxx 1917’ has been written in pencil on the right, under ‘THIS SIDE FOR ADDRESS’.
