Lucy the Elephant as pictured on three postcards, each from a different postcard era. The linen era postcard proclaims in the bottom border: THE ONLY ELEPHANT IN THE WORLD YOU CAN GO THROUGH AND COME OUT ALIVE. Lucy was recently in the news; a tent that was blown from its moorings by high winds on September 11 gave Lucy a smack on her backside that broke her tail! Hmmm, do you call a vet or an architect? This architectural quadruped is being submitted into the Festival of Postcards, coordinated by Evelyn Yvonne Theriault.
