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

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.

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.

HEAD HALTER
I sense tension here—as if something bad is about to happen. Could be comedy or drama.  Anyone agree?
Verso: “whether for extension or suspension, Doctor…we’re equipped to take care of your head halter needs…we can supply complete home traction kits.”

RIB FRACTURES CRAMPING YOUR SOCIAL LIFE?Never Again! 
A spectacularly bad postcard…and one not yet in my collection. So I need to give credit to Postcard Collector for this image which was posted in a recent discussion.
It advertises OTC Professional Appliances, “Designed for Doctors’ Prescriptions.” I have two others in this series. I will post one later today that is just as bizarre.
If you’re interested in knowing more about postcards and their history, PostcardCollector.org has lots of articles and discussions on the subject.
On the back of this card: “save that roll of tape, Doctor…prescribe comfortable OTC rib belts for your rib-fracture cases…easily removable for bathing, examination, or dressing…foam rubber padded or flannel-lined.”
