Item Description
4x9". Candidate's portraits featured in an American shield w/eagle at top and quotation from Alfred Noyes' WWI era poem "The Victorious Dead" at top center. Postmarked "Oct 11 10PM 1920 New York, N.Y. Grand Central Station" and addressed to "Mr. Harley F. Lewis" of "Marion, Ohio." Front of envelope only w/reverse missing. Obvious handling wear and edge losses. Just Good. We've encountered three examples of postcards utilizing a black ink version of this jugate design but this is the first envelope known to us. Full Noyes' quote: "Make Firm, O God, The Peace Our Dead Have Won, For Folly Shakes The Tinsel On Her Head And Points Us Back To Darkness And To Hell. Cackling "Beware Of Visions, While Our Dead Still Cry, It Was For Visions That We Fell."
