These give me an interesting insight into the 1880s, and causes of death. These associatitons were an early form of obtaining life insurance.
I had hoped to paste these side by side but my Irfanview 64 was acting up as it often does when combining images.

A moment of serendipity JeffS , only this morning I was reading about these postal cards,
The basic design of the 1c 1875 Liberty postal card, a left-facing Liberty head.
From an earlier TSF giveaway, I have an UX7 from the 1881 issue postmarked from Louisiana... ;-)
Have fun and happy collecting!
