Geographic Locations/Landmarks

Main streets, harbors, hotels, bridges and landmarks as travelers and townspeople saw them in the early 1900s. The postmark and the message often add a first-hand line about the place. Read the back to date a card: an undivided back, for the address only, means before March 1907; a divided back means March 1907 or later. More on dating by the back on the Postcards page.
