CAT-b4_50s-0012

This vintage postcard features
a black and white photograph of three fluffy tabby kittens sitting in a makeshift wooden basket suspended from a balloon, giving the illusion they are flying in a hot air balloon.
The text at the bottom is in Dutch and reads:

"Gauw zullen onze poesjes „in de wolken zijn; Zoo'n tocht per luchtballon moet toch wel heerlijk zijn!."

This translates roughly to:

"Soon our kitties will be 'in the clouds'; Such a trip by air balloon must be delightful!"

Postmark 1935, there's no stamp
The card may be older, the image belongs to a popular early 20th-century genre of posed animal photography, often associated with photographers like Harry Whittier Frees, who specialized in creating humorous, anthropomorphic scenes using real animals. The postcard itself likely dates to the "Golden Age" of postcards, around the 1900s to 1910s era
