Real photo postcard depicting Andy D-Day, a famous freak prize bull born with four horns, four eyes, and two functional noses. The subject is identified by printed caption, with an extended printed text on the front describing the animal's championship credentials and pedigree details. The caption credits the owner as located in South Arkansas and references the animal's show record and bloodline. The card was produced by a Brookville, Ohio publisher as identified by the credit on the image.


Prize livestock was a popular subject but special emphasis was placed or freaks of nature that lived to be displayed.  The bull Andy D-Day was widely known and postcards depicting his abnormalities were part of collections focused on freaks and unusual subjects. This card with its extended printed descriptive text on the front is a well-documented example of the genre and represents a significant departure from the theatrical and entertainment subjects that make up the majority of this collection.


The front bears the printed text: Printed caption reading Andy D-Day Bull with extended descriptive text about the animal's abnormalities and fame  and pedigree. The reverse reads: Standard divided POST CARD reverse.
