The Great Comet of 1910

Another find from Stephen Ellcock, a series of French postcards published to commemorate the appearance of The Great Comet of 1910.

Great Comet of 1910

An odd narrative in the cards: The Earth, Moon, and Sun are anxiously watching the approach of the comet. At first they welcome the comet, but then the comet strikes the Earth, getting one of its points embedded near Alaska. The Moon and the Sun pull the comet free, and it sails off, crying blood tears, while the Earth recovers with a bandage.
