The notice being pointed to by the woman in the picture reads "No trespassing, Private property". Maybe this postcard was posted as a warning to a suitor or perhaps as a secret joke?

Kimura / Voller Ernst

Voller Ernst which loosly translated means "deadly serious"appears to be a photo agency based in Germany. I'm not sure whether the image in the postcard is a reproduction of a much older photograph or a modern photograph made to look older than it is.
In December 2011, I received an email from Steven Dornbusch that explained about the image. Steven wrote that:
The Einstein face is crudely pasted over Mr. Pollard's character in "It's a Gift" (1923). I think the film was rereleased, perhaps by Blackhawk (US), in the 1960's.
"It's a Gift" is a short silent movie comedy film featuring Snub Pollard (9th November 1889 – 19th January 1962) made in 1923 by Hal Roach. A group of oil magnates are trying to think of new ways to attract business. One of them suggests that they contact an eccentric inventor (Pollard), who has devised a new gasoline substitute. The inventor himself lives in a home filled with his strange inventions. When he gets the message from the oil company, he is excited about the opportunity to demonstrate his innovation, and jumps into his "magnet car". The 14 minute film is on YouTube.
