Manchester, from Asylum grounds (New Hampshire, USA)

Manchester, from Asylum grounds (New Hampshire, USA)

What a great card. Alas, we didn’t get much help from Google in determining what asylum this was. We do understand asylum cards are in short supply–so you’ll know! The details: posted in 1907 with a one-cent stamp and full Manchester postmark to a Mrs. Palmer of South Sutton, with a poignant message from M.L.B. The card was made by Hugh C. Leighton Co., of Portland; was printed in Frankfurt, Germany; and carries reference no. 3246.  Grade: 1
