Publishers used exaggerated figures and playful captions to comment on changing gender expectations while keeping the subject safely within the realm of seasonal novelty and humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003eThe image shows a scarecrow figure posed as a decoy or stand-in for a man, while two young women approach from behind, suggesting pursuit and playful ambush. Bright autumn colors and cartoon-style line work give the scene a theatrical quality, and the word Leap Year appears prominently at the top of the design. The divided back format and unposted condition preserve the original printing and unused message space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1319\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
