1. Title: "A Year of Deception: The Ancient, Reckless & Independent Order of Prevaricators' Liars License, Circa 1890s" This photograph showcases a Liars License Card from the "Ancient, Reckless & Independent Order of Prevaricators," a humorous Victorian-era society that granted its members the audacious privilege to lie for an entire year. Dating back to the late 1890s, this unique piece of history is a testament to the playful spirit and mischievous nature of the era. The Liars License Card, beautifully printed and pre-signed by U. R. A. Nother, Secretary of State, is a fascinating relic from a time when humor and whimsy held a significant place in society. The card features a charming design, with intricate borders and an embossed seal, adding to its antique allure. Two blank spaces are provided for the recipient's name and the year, allowing for a personal touch and authenticity. This comic keepsake was likely used as a practical joke or a conversation starter, reflecting the lighthearted and carefree atmosphere of the late Victorian period. The Order of Prevaricators, with its intriguing name and secretive nature, adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the card. Today, this Liars License Card serves as a reminder of the rich history and unique traditions that shaped our past. Its vintage charm and humorous intent continue to captivate and amuse, making it a cherished addition to any collection of antique memorabilia or historical ephemera.
