File:Monopoly UK postcard.jpg

Summary
Scan of a postcard, replicating a 1936 poster, originally published in the United Kingdom, introducing the board game Monopoly, published there by Waddingtons. Notable on the card's artwork is the incorrect layout of spaces on the game board. On the reverse, the card incorrectly states that the game's spaces replaced "New York's street names with London counterparts." The original spaces are in fact from Atlantic City, New Jersey. Scanned by John D. Buell on 16 August 2006.

Copyright on the postcard is held by the Robert Opie Collection. Copyright on the design elements of Monopoly is held by Hasbro.
