-
Ottawa, SODART, Louise Bourgeois sculpture MAMAN
Everything about this is confusing, including the name of the museum, the location of the sculpture, and even which of this artist’s sculptures it is.

The card was mailed in 2012 with four different and very large Canadian stamps totalling C$1.84 in value, none of them cancelled. Grade: 4
-

The unused card’s caption explains the (true) story behind this display in British Columbia. Grade: 2
