Postcard
Tall-tale Postcard: Fertile Lands with Potato
A giant, oddly-shaped potato rests on a flatbed railroad car. A horse-drawn carriage with a driver is visible behind the train. White bags filled with potatoes are scattered throughout the field in the background. An "SP" on the side of the car marks it as being on the Southern Pacific Railroad Line. |
