<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1200627, member: 24274&quot;]Cotton picking shows up in several other vignettes I&#039;ve seen. Here&#039;s one from the antebellum era -- almost certainly a slave. The one with the cows and oddly dressed milker is most likely from Reconstruction. This is pretty clearly a jab at the carpetbaggers. Note the expression on both cows.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a different unusual topic, how about a couple horseless carriages? This vignette really shows why the very early cars carried that name.</p><p><br /></p><p>All these vignettes are from the USPS Commemorative Panel series; these were produced by American Bank Note Co.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for starting this thread, SM! There are plenty more oddities I can add when I have a little scanning time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
