We see postcards like this, and if we’re not familiar with the backstory, it — sorry — sometimes just looks like a bunch of flowers.  But a little research goes a long way, and a condensed version of Fuller’s Wikipedia entry goes like this:  “Alvan Tufts Fuller (February 27, 1878 – April 30, 1958) was an American businessman, politician, art collector, and philanthropist … he opened one of the first automobile dealerships in Massachusetts, which in 1920 was recognized as “the world’s most successful auto dealership”, … and from 1925 to 1929 was Governor of Massachusetts. In 1927 he was enveloped in the controversy surrounding the trial and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, Italian immigrant anarchists convicted of robbery and murder. Fuller’s handling of the affair, in which both domestic and international sources sought clemency for the two, effectively ended his political career.  (He)  was an avid collector of art; founded the Fuller Foundation, a charity that supports a variety of causes; and Fuller Gardens.”  The postcard calls him Alvin but the correct spelling is Alvan.  Unused card.  Grade: 1
