Scarce early aviation novelty postcard titled "Flying Taught By Mail." The image depicts a man and woman seated in an early aircraft, reflecting America's fascination with flight during the pioneering years of aviation shortly after the Wright brothers' success.
Postmarked Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, December 4, 1910, and mailed to Kanopolis, Kansas. The handwritten message discusses life in the West and references a "typical western town" and "blanket Indians," providing an interesting glimpse into early twentieth-century travel and social history.
An appealing combination of aviation history, postal history, Oklahoma ephemera, and early novelty postcard collecting.
