Such is the case with today's postcard.
I can think of no better time to break this one out than on April first, and while I'm not ready to call the artist who rendered this image an "April fool", he or she definitely didn't do the research required to get it right.

...but somehow the artist managed to include the gondoliers all on the wrong ends of their boats!
Here's a close-up:


Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's impossible.
Hey, stick me on the bow of a gondola, facing backwards, and with a forcola in the right place, I'm confident that I could row there!
Who knows, maybe back then, the gondoliers in Venice, California celebrated "Backwards Day".
If they did, I'll bet it took place on April first.
