Postcards of Terre Haute - Dutch Kid
The "Dutch Kid" postcards were very popular between around 1900 and 1920. They were produced in a variety of designs and for a variety of places. Several well-known artists designed these cards...
Magnus Greiner (c.1906) was renowned for his postcard set by International Art, which "deltiologists" call "The Adventures of Molly and Teddy" (about bears). He also did valentines, Dutch children and scarce negro cards.
Cobb Shinn (1887-1951) a.k.a. Tom Yad, Cob X. and C.X.S., this Indiana artist started as a newspaper cartoonist who drew "doughboy" cartoons during WWI. He was best known for the "Riley Roses", Tin Lizzie and "Charlie Chaplin" series of postcards, but also found are his art nouveau and Dutch Kids.
Dr. Bernhardt Wall (1872-1956) An American artist who tried to enroll in New York's Art Students League, but was told he already knew enough. So he opened up his own art school and later fought in the Spanish American War. When a competitor stole one of his art designs, he got into the postcard business to make money on his art. In his prime, his work was being published by more than 15 companies. Some of his most notable postcard sets include the "Busy Bears". the "Sunbonnet" series; "Days of the Week", "Dutch Kids" and he also did some pro and anti-suffrage cards. After the postcard craze faded, he began etching volumes of historical books on Lincoln and Jefferson.
