This postcard features a macabre illustration by Fred Ellis, dated '99. The artwork depicts a skull with two devilish figures above it, and two crossed cigarettes below. The text reads "Nuf Sed". The reverse side is a standard postcard layout with a message and address, postmarked April 5, 1909, in Kansas.

Condition

The postcard is in good condition for its age, with some minor discoloration and edge wear consistent with its historical nature. The artwork is clear and legible, and the postmark is distinct.
