POSTCARD: 'WIRELESS TELEGRPAHY', TO JAMES DENNIS

Overview

Postcard from the Dennis family.

'Wireless Telepahty' in cursive type in the bottom centre.

The landscape etched (?) image is surrounded by a yellowed cream border. A woman (left) in a blue and black striped dress is seated opposite a man (right) in a black tuxedo. They are both leaning on the table and looking intently at an older man on the far side of the table who is holding a large paper. The couple are sitting forward in their wooden studded chairs, legs outstrethced with the man's left foot rested on the woman's right foot. The couple each have a wine glass in front of them. There is a cabinet in the background between two green curtains (?).

Reverse has a handwritten message written in pencil, adressed to 'Mr Jas Dennis / Low Workshop / Midland Junction' on the right hand side.

There is a red stamp with a swan on the top right croner which reads 'WESTERN AUSTRALIA / POSTAGE ONE PENNY'.
