Postcards. Two early Australian political examples: I.) Reid and Deakin on the football field. This card refers to the transfer of office from Reid to Deakin in 1904. Reid did not have a majority, so when Labor and the Protectionists patched up their differences, they voted him out. Artwork by George Austine Taylor (1872-1928). II.) Reid 'In Borrowed Plumes, George H. Reid In George Lauri's Orchard'. Artwork by George (Zif) Dunstan (born 1876).
