Vintage Postcard 1927 "Lots of Apples" Harrisburg PA Riverside Night
Social History: The recipient of this postcard was Master Samil L. Garman Jr., a resident of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, in Berks County. The title "Master" was a formal 19th and early 20th-century honorific used specifically for boys or young men who were not yet old enough to be called "Mister."
Dear Samil — Thanks for your letter. Millersburg is hot even up in the mountains. Next week I expect to be at Perkasie. Hope it will be cooler. You should come up this way sometime. There are lots of apples in our yard — Have big yard.
The Scene: A classic postcard featuring the Pennsylvania State Capitol brilliantly lit at night. This version is famous for its atmospheric details, including bats flying in the moonlit sky and patriotic American flags flying over the city. Offers a great view of the Harrisburg riverfront, including the historic Athletic Club building.
