1910 postcard to Conyngham: "I'm going to take a trip."

The vintage joke postcard — and it's a bit of a cruel prank that's pictured — was published by Bamforth & Co. of Holmfirth, England, and New York.¹ It was mailed in January 1910 from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to Conyngham, Pennsylvania, a small borough in Luzerne County that is named after American Revolution hero Captain Gustavus Conyngham (pictured at right).²

The postcard was addressed to Albert G. Harvey and the message on the back states:

"Look for me Saturday Evening on the 8 O'clock train. I expect Uncle Frank will be with me. Uncle James."
