If you’d like to order some of these cards for use at your own institution, please click this link to contact Eric Fernandez at Modern Postcard and ask for the “Medical Heritage Library postcard,” the “Barthelemy Syphillis postcard,” (the image above) or the “Culpeper postcard” (the image to the right).

If you’d like to order MHL cards with a different image, select your image from the many available through our collection and contact Eric as above. You can substitute in new bibliographic information into the template for the back of the ‘card and voila: a brand new postcard.
