Buried Treasure Black Children on Beach Series H Sandford Tuck postcard series

Black children making living sand castles on the beach. Art by H Dix Sandford.

One of a set of 6 postcards in Raphael Tuck & Sons, Happy Little Coons Series V, number 9299.  (I'm cringing at the racial epithet; yet it does provide a glimmer of social history insight to that age, the early 1900s). There series was issued in February 1907. More information at TuckDB
