This collectible postcard features a dramatic depiction of the 1962 Alcatraz escape. The front of the postcard showcases a series of compelling black and white images related to the infamous event, including a bed with a dummy in a prison cell, three cleverly fabricated dummy heads used in the escape, and mugshot-style photographs of the three inmates involved: Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin.

The reverse side of the postcard provides historical context, detailing how these inmates created the dummy heads from cement, soap paste, and barber shop cuttings to delay the discovery of their absence. It states the images are "From the collections of the Golden Gate National Recreation area" and that the postcard is "Published by Golden Gate National Parks Association, Bldg 201, Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA 94123." This historical postcard is a fascinating piece for collectors interested in true crime, prison history, or significant American events.
