1937 In Kentucky by James H. Mulligan

This whimsical vintage postcard titled “In Kentucky” features the beloved poem by James H. Mulligan, a prominent Kentuckian known for his wit and eloquence. Born in Lexington in 1844, Mulligan served as an attorney, judge, and state senator, but is best remembered for this heartfelt tribute to his home state. First recited in 1902, the poem quickly became a cherished expression of Kentucky pride. The postcard is brought to life with small, charming illustrations: an owl perched on a branch, the state’s outline, a well-dressed gentleman raising a glass, and a horse peacefully grazing. Together, the imagery and verse offer a humorous and affectionate portrait of Kentucky life that still resonates today.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
