| Notice that plagiarism is rampant in pre-WWI postcards. Except for the coloring, these are identical. All three of these cards have a different publisher. We're thankful to Don Prout for sending them to us. He notes he has three more different cards with the same exact scene! We believe the top image to be the original. |
