On the front of this delightful postcard is an art  portrait of a gorgeous Clydesdale or Skye Terrier.   At the bottom is the artist's signature:  Maud West Watson.  Here is some information about the link between Skye and Clydesdale Terriers.   The information was taken from Doggiepedia:
Clydesdale Terriers, originally exhibited as Skye Terriers, are simply the more silky-haired specimens of this variety. Skye Terrier enthusiasts have always regarded them as bad-coated specimens, more fitted for the drawing-room than the cairns, just as Fox Terrier experts would regard a soft-coated Wire Haired as a bad Fox Terrier. The silky-coated dog, however, has his devotees, and along in the eighties a division was made in the Skye Terrier classes, the hard-coated, long and low variety being accorded, by weight of public opinion, the title of Skye Terrier, to which their character, working fitness, and tradition gave them an irresistible claim,, while the leggier and more silky-coated specimens were given the name of Clydesdale or Paisley Terriers. Since then the Clydesdale fanciers have developed the differences in the two dogs and by selection have cultivated the silkiness and lighter colors of the coat, which they have made a sine qua non of the variety. In all other essentials the character and conformation of the two varieties are practically one and the same. The coat of the Clydesdale should be long, straight, and silky; in both texture, color, and quality it should resemble that of the best Yorkshire Terriers, which has been largely used in its manufacture.
Every time you look at this you will smile!   The artwork is AMAZING!!!  Maud West Watson was one of the finest dog artists that ever lived!
On the back is a handwritten message, an address in Scotland and a 1918 postmark.  The postcard was made in England by Raphael Tuck & Sons.  This was a Tuck's Oilette postcard.
Measurements are approximately: 3.5" x 5.5" so this is a standard size postcard.   Aside from very few signs of surface wear, this postcard is in excellent condition and is still easy to see and appreciate!
It would be beautiful framed!
