The Unmarked Postcard

The postcard I was most drawn to was the women posing with children in the carriage. What I found interesting about the about the postcard was the fact that it didn’t have anything written on it. It was not stamped nor postmarked. The postcard only contained a black and white photo of two women standing behind a carriage with an infant boy and girl. I like the fact that there is a mystery behind this postcard. We can simply only assume what’s going on. Do the children belong to one of the women or one? Do the children even belong to any one of them? Are they relatives? Can we assume the space between the two adults mean they aren’t that close? There are so many questions we can come up with to try and get the whole purpose of this postcard but it remains unknown. Its just fascinating how our brains could come up with different reasons why something occurred. Did the sender just simply forgot about it? Maybe he or she became distracted which led to the forgotten postcard? Or did he or she just decided not to send it off. Why? Since the card seems personal, maybe the sender thought it would bring back memories that were good. Or bad. The postcard could have been on its way to the mother of the children, but the sender came to the conclusion it would probably be hard for her to see her children while so far away. What about the father? Is he the sender? Or receiver? Overall, what I'm trying to point out is that this unmarked postcard holds a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, this is what makes it so interesting. It makes you think and wonder. You begin to crave the truth behind this postcard. You can come up with a bunch of conclusions, but the mystery will remain unsolved.
