TEN BADDEST BAD POSTCARDS OF 2011 — #5Your BAD POSTCARDS Blogger Reblogs Ten of his Favorite Postcards of the Year LOUIS PASTEURPotters Wax MuseumSt. Augustine, Florida This is one of my favorite wax museum postcards. I love the arthritic hands. The poor guy can’t bend his fingers enough to get a good grip on the syringe. The taxidermied chinchilla is a nice touch. But Louis isn’t paying attention to what he’s doing. The chilla is getting spiked while Louis is gazing off into space. Not professional. The artist’s laboratory backdrop is kinda cool.

LOUIS PASTEUR
Potters Wax Museum
St. Augustine, Florida

This is one of my favorite wax museum postcards. I love the arthritic hands. The poor guy can’t bend his fingers enough to get a good grip on the syringe. The taxidermied chinchilla is a nice touch. But Louis isn’t paying attention to what he’s doing. The chilla is getting spiked while Louis is gazing off into space. Not professional. The artist’s laboratory backdrop is kinda cool.

HUCK FINN SEDUCES MARK TWAIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARK TWAIN! The name of this wax museum isn’t printed on the verso, but the postcard was printed in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, so I have to assume it’s the American Historical Wax Museum. SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS “MARK TWAIN” 1835 - 1910: American novelist worked as a printer, Mississippi river boat pistol and newspaper reporter. His novels “Innocents Aboard,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” “Tom Sawyer,” and many more brought him fame as America’s foremost humorist. He is shown with Huck Finn, one of his famous literary figures. Note their typo: Innocents ABOARD instead of ABROAD.

Today is INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DAY On BAD POSTCARDS the museum is likely to be wax. Wax museum postcards are the baddest! Here’s one of my favorites. LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)French chemist and bacteriologist, born Dec. 27, 1822. Won his “Bachelier es Lettres” at Royal College of Bessacon, 1840. Pioneered in fermentation research. Developed the first vaccination to control chicken cholera and anthrax. His greatest gift to mankind is the treatment for hydrophobia. On July 6, 1885 after prolonged experiments he inoculated a child who had been badly bitten by an infected dog and the experiment was a success. AN EXHIBIT AT POTTERS WAX MUSEUM, ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA.
