The caption on the back of this unused Smith Novelty card S-029 gives a surprising amount of detail in a short space.  The sculpture, in Sacramento, California, is by Larkin Goldsmith Mead, and is called “Columbus’ Last Appeal to Queen Isabella,” weighs 40 tons, is made of carrera marble; and that’s just some of it.  Yes, we know, Queen Isabella never lived in Sacramento!  Grade: 1
