- Postcard (color, divided back 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches) titled – How oft as children we did try, To find the pot of gold
That rests beneath the rainbow's tips, And doth such treasures hold. This postcard depicts a small village skyline with a rainbow encircling it. Note: Card published by F. A. Owen Co. of Dansville, NY. Frederick Augustus Owen was born near South Danville, NY in 1867 and educated at Rogersville Seminary. In 1889, he started a correspondence school for teachers. In 1891, he began publishing Normal Instructor, a magazine to aid the students in his correspondence school. Over time, this publication turned in Instructor magazine with a circulation of over 250,000 copies. The success of the magazine necessitated larger printing facilities which became F. A. Owen Co. in 1901. No descriptive text on reverse. - Metadata URL:
