    The “University of Cambridge” is a public collegiate research university in Cambridge England. It was founded in 1209 and is the world’s third-oldest university in continuous operation. The arms were granted at the 1573 visitation of the County of Cambridge undertaken by Robert Cooke, the then Clarenceux King of Arms, and a graduate of St. Johns College. The lions represent the university’s royal patronage, the ermine represents dignity, and the Bibe on the cross represents both knowledge and the Christian faith. 

   The card was printed and designed in England, postmarked in 1906 in Crowley and is in good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image and reverse.
