This charming vintage linen postcard from the 1950s features a colorful, humorous farmyard scene with two adult chickens surrounded by a dozen vibrant chicks in various colors. The playful caption "We All Have to Scratch Darn Hard for a Living!" is prominently displayed against a soft blue and pink sky, highlighting the lighthearted theme of hard work and perseverance. The postcard is printed on textured linen paper, typical of the era, which enhances the vivid colors and nostalgic appeal.
Published for the Asheville Post Card Co., Asheville, N.C., and marked as a "Colourpicture" publication, this standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) divided back postcard is a collectible example of mid-20th century Americana. The illustration style and the multi-colored chicks make it a unique addition for collectors interested in farm life, sayings & quotes, or linen postcards from the United States. Its unposted, unused condition offers a pristine surface for framing or gifting.
