Vintage Postcard 1962 Pray For Peace Christmas Village Church East Corinth VT
Social History: Features a very clear "PRAY FOR PEACE" slogan cancellation. Mailed in December 1962, just two months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, this reflects the somber and hopeful national mood of the time.
Postal History: Dual Stamps includes the 1962 4-cent Abraham Lincoln stamp (magenta) alongside a green "Christmas for Christ" religious seal/cinderella stamp, adding great visual interest to the back.
Scene: The front features the iconic winter village of East Corinth, Vermont, a scene so quintessentially American it was used for the 1959 Fred Waring Christmas album cover. This card was published by the American Tract Society, a historic non-profit known for its religious literature and beautifully produced holiday ephemera.
