Greetings from Yesteryear

Polly in a Peanut Patch

“I like her smile; her clothing, certainly, is interesting; and the fact that it’s peanuts, a legume that is a part of the African culinary repertoire, even though it’s native to the New World,” Harris says. “There’s a whole lot that’s wrapped up in there. Plus, I’d never seen peanuts mounded up like that.” (Postcards can be hard to date, Harris explains, because you may buy one years, even decades, before you send it, though some do hold clues. This one was mailed in 1905.)
