A postcard, discovered in Illinois’s post office, was returned to the sender after seven decades of storage within the United Nations. The postcard, dated 1953, was initially identified as having been lost during the organization’s extensive archival efforts. Postal officials confirmed the item’s origin, noting its long period of inactivity. The postcard depicts a rural landscape and is currently undergoing analysis to determine its precise location and purpose within the UN’s history. It represents a significant historical artifact awaiting further examination.
