it. Every card is
so unique. The Museum will post the most exciting,

Embossed - Lincoln Park Academy
of Sciences, Chicago, ILL
unknown manufacturer - pm
1909
note:
The back is printed
up-side-down, unusual for a
postcard. It even fooled the
postal sorter who placed it
right side up for a postage
stamp cancel, hence it being
upside down. The postage stamp
had to be manually cancelled
with ink.
