HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!! BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

For whatever reason, April 1 has been popular as "April Fools Day" since medieval times.  It is the day that people play practical jokes on each other.  In France and in French-speaking areas, the April 1 tradition has been depicted with a fish, and the day has been known as "April Fish" since that term was first coined by a French poet in 1508.  

This is a vintage postcard made in France.  It is a real photo that has been hand-painted.

The middle postcard was postmarked Williamsport, PA in 1907.  The lower postcard was mailed in France in 1905.
