Leonard's comments:
Sorry. I could find out what's on the back of this postcard but it would mean going through 1500 other poscards.That painting is really awesome, BTW (the weird colors are due to a scanning glitch). It would be better if the Earth had some clouds, though.
This is also one of the few times you'll see a copy of a public-domain sculpture put on display in its own right. I didn't even know it was a copy until just now.
