IF SHE HAD BEEN STOLEN IN THE 1980s, HER FACE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A MILK CARTON

We all know the Mona Lisa's face today. But can you believe that in 1911 they had to distribute flyers?  Judge Henri Drioux, who was the Examining Magistrate and basically the guy in charge of the investigation, had 6500 flyers with the Mona Lisa's face on them handed out to detectives and others so that they would know the painting if they saw her.
