Those Who Know Everything in General Know Nothing in Particular
A reward of merit dated 1875. Unfortunately, the small but colorful chromolithographed scrap glued to the middle of the card isn't positioned correctly (take a look at a rotated version instead of craning your neck), but the elaborate design surrounding the scrap makes up for it.
The nineteenth-century "maxim" printed on the card reminds me of the modern quip about know-it-alls: "Those who think they know everything annoy those of us who do."
For another reward of merit printed by Colton, Zahm, & Roberts, see Look Up and Not Down.
