Here’s another “special” Keystone card, reminiscent of “42 – Evaporating Salt Brine by Steam to Obtain Salt, Ithaca, N.Y.” While that card was part of the 600-card “Visual Education” series from 1917, and contained no letter in its frontal sequence designation, this “P6” card contains very similar quality language on the back – that is to say, it’s clearly written for children.
