Vintage Postcard Lot Dramatic Coast Cliff Ocean Portland Maine Surf White Head

These four postcards showcase the rugged, dramatic coastline, cliffs, and ocean surf of Portland Harbor and Cape Shore, Maine.

• White Head Cliff (Cushings Island): Three of the postcards capture different angles and lighting of the famous 150-foot solid stone "White Head" precipice located on Cushings Island in Casco Bay. Striking aesthetic variations showcasing the towering White Head cliffs under both bright, clear blue daytime skies and soft, pastel pink sunset gradients

• Cape Shore Landscape: The bottom card highlights a sweeping view along the rugged "Cape Shore," a celebrated stretch of scenic rocky coastline. This card documents the early-to-mid 20th-century boom in coastal highway tourism, where travelers journeyed along the ocean edge to marvel at the raw, untamed power of the Atlantic surf.
