Reports Of The Loch Ness Monster Can Tell Us A Lot, But Not About What You May ExpectA postcard of Loch Ness showing three hand drawn images of the Loch arranged in two square frames with a circle frame in the middle. The first square image shows the typical long necked monster with two humps jutting out of the water by an embankment. The middle circular image shows the open water with a steam boat travelling towards the left and a large dragon-like monster chasing it with its mouth open. The final square picture shows a drawing of Urquhart Castle in the background and a long necked monster resting on the bank of the Loch, looking towards the viewer. Under these three images is a drawing of a long slender monster with four legs and a long curled tail on profile. Above these is the title "A Souvenir of Loch Ness".
