Morris G. Condon, Philadelphia (Unstated Value) Black on Wove Card, typographed design on 140 x 77mm dull v. faint y-o-yellow wove card, Very Fine. Scott No. UX1E. USPCC No. S1E-D $1,500.
Another designer of private post cards that required an adhesive of similar purport to Lipman's cards S1E-B, and also hailing from Philadelphia was Morris G. Condon. "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by Morris G. Condon, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington" is printed at the bottom of the face of the card. Note absence of the word "Copyright." Condon titled it at the top "U. S. POST CARD CORRESPONDENCE." Condon's card is not mentioned specifically in P. M. G. Creswell's letter of January 9, 1873, though it may have been one of the "many others" as its copyright date of 1871 preceded the law.
