Social History: Sent from 34 Greene Ave, Brooklyn, the sender writes to Miss Sadie Murray in Cambridge, Mass:
"A card can never take the place of a letter from you, but once in a while send me a pretty card."
This perfectly captures the era's "Postcard Craze"—while some saw postcards as "lazy" compared to letters, they became a vital, rapid-fire way for friends to stay connected and exchange "pretty" collectibles.
Scene: This striking original antique postcard, titled "A Bend In The River," showcases a serene landscape by the artist Mauer. A tiny lone figure of a man standing on the riverbank next to a beached canoe.
Postal History: The card features a very clear Brooklyn, N.Y., wavy-line machine cancellation
Era: Divided Back Period (1907–1915)
Size: Standard 3.5 x 5.5"
Type: lithograph
