The Extraction of the Stone of Madness Postcard
Hieronymus Bosch 1475–1480
Oil on board 48 cm × 35 cm (19 in × 14 in)
Museo del Prado, Madrid The Extraction of the Stone of Madness (The Cure of Folly) is a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, completed between 1475 and 1480.
The painting depicts the extraction of the stone of madness, a "keye" (in English a "stone" or "bulb") from a patient's head, using trepanation by a man wearing a funnel hat.[1] In the painting Bosch has exchanged the traditional "stone" as the object of extraction with the bulb of a flower. Another flower is on the table. The Gothic inscription reads:
"Meester snijt die keye ras Mijne name Is lubbert das"
(in English: "Master, cut away the stone
my name is Lubbert das"). Lubbert Das was a comical (foolish) character in Dutch literature.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
