Souvenir of The Flea Circus

Real Photo Postcard. This generic dual montage of a harnessed flea, super magnified, and another flea harnessed to a chariot is unidentified as to what show it was a souvenir from. While we suspect that this card was sold at Hubert's Museum in New York, the exact same photo montage was also used on a postcard for Mathews Flea Circus in Long Beach, California. On verso: "Place One Cent Stamp Here" (making it a pre-January 1952 postcard when the penny postcard created in 1898 became the 2¢ postcard).
