Landing a Pike—How We Do Things at Harrisburg, Pa.

Landing a Pike—How We Do Things at Harrisburg, Pa.
In the early twentieth century, Wisconsin photographer Alfred Stanley Johnson, Jr., created a series of tall-tale postcards featuring oversized fruits, vegetables, and fish. Johnson also used the image of the fish on this postcard for another one of his cards (see below for the other postcard and a side-by-side comparison of the fish from each card).
