This refers to the Black Hand (Mano Nera in Italian), which was a type of extortion racket that originated in Italy and was later associated with Italian-American organized crime in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Black Hand would send threatening letters to victims, often decorated with symbolic black hand prints, demanding money under the threat of violence or other harm. This postcard appears to be playing on that theme, suggesting the woman has received such a threatening letter or demand. A Dark Humor Card.
