I need to know more about The Alligator Circus painting you used for your banner graphic, an incredible piece that I hope is available as a print.
I’m not answering for the museum but as a collector of old penny post cards.
This is an early version of a photo-shopped gag/humorous picture postcard; think cut and paste but in the real mechanical sense, no computer. Printing/sale date would be from the very early 1900s.
Check with the museum about their policy on copies (copyright on this image would have expired years ago IF anyone connected with it was still around to make a claim).
