This interesting printed postcard (halftone dots) depicts an Asian American girl drying a plate, while two boys play outside the window.

Caption at the bottom: “I wish I was a boy!”

Clearly, she would rather be outside playing than tending to the dishes inside. Note the items on the shelf above the drying rack. The clock says 9:05.
