COMPLYING WITH THE NEED FOR GREATER TRANSPARENCY

TRANSPARENT WOMAN

A Talking Transparent Woman is demonstrated daily at the Museum of Science, Boston. Presented by the Mass. Heart Association, it gives a dramatic lesson in body structure and function, showing circulatory and nervous systems and internal organs. The life-size figure was fabricated at the Deutches Gesundheits Museum, Cologne, Germany.

YOU DON’T KNOW BEANS ‘TIL YOU’VE BEEN TO BOSTON!

Boston, founded in 1630, has become famous for fine foods one of which is Boston baked beans. However, residents of Beacon Hill (pictured on the card) would rather be known for exceptionally succulent seafoods and robust yankee cooking which brings out the natural, hearty flavor of meat rather than disguise it with spices and seasonings.

In his childhood, your BAD POSTCARDS blogger ate many a pancake (the best ever) at this very restaurant—one pat of butter per pancake, completely soaked with real maple syrup that was made on the premises. Amazing!

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S PHEASANTS.

Verso: “GOLDEN PHEASANTS. Agassiz Museum. Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. These pheasants were presented to George Washington in 1786 by the Marquis de Lafayette as a gift from Louis XVI. They soon died and were preserved by Charles Willson Peale of Philadelphia.”

They SOON died? Were they pining for the King?

(Imagine a Harvard student off stage right holding the flag.)
