Dickinson College is a private liberal arts college in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  Founded in 1773 as Carlisle Grammar School, Dickinson was chartered in 1783, making it the first college to be founded after the formation of the United States.  It was founded by Benjamin Rush, a Founding Father and signer of the Declaration of Independence.  The college is named in honor of John Dickinson, a Founding Father who voted to ratify the Constitution and later served as Governor of Pennsylvania and his wife Mary Norris Dickinson.  They donated much of their extensive personal libraries to the new college.  This card is of an engraving by Louis D Neuman for the Atlas of Cumberland County 1872 of both the “West and East Colleges”.  The card was published by “Thompson’s Book Store, Carlise, Pa.” and printed by the “Albertype Co., Brooklyn”.  It is not postmarked by looks to be a DB, 1907 – 1915 and is in good to very good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image and reverse.
