Description
Postcard found enclosed with the copy of Julia de Wolf Addison's book 'Boston Museum of Fine Arts' (SPEC-LMMI 900 SI-Bertie); a coloured lithograph of the Museum appears on the front of the card. Neither the sender -- identified only with unclear initials (possibly "E.P.") -- or the addressee -- a "Mrs. E. Linwood Perkins" of Auburn, Maine -- have any known connection to L.M. Montgomery, nor does the message on the card refer to anything Montgomery-related. Further, the postmark -- March 7, 1910 -- is many months before Montgomery's November visit to Boston. It appears likely, then, that this item was acquired by a collector interested in the Museum, not in Montgomery, and enclosed with the de Wolf Addison book at that time.
