Country: Switzerland

The card presents in satirical way the panic generated by the appearance of Halley’s Comet in 1910. French astronomer Camille Flammarion published an article stating that cyanide gas present in the comet’s tail would potentially wipe out life on Earth when it passed through it on the 19th of May 1910.
