Very little information is known concerning this card. H.D. Mitchel wrote in The Oxcart,

number 38 of June 1970, that the normal red-printed card was issued in 1906 but official

authorization, issue date and printed quantities have not been established. The card was

lithographed by Waterlow and Layton and depicts a bust of Columbus. This is the only

example recorded with double, upright and inverted, printing.
