The Card shows:
A colored lithograph of a photographic view of the aqueduct with a canoeist in the foreground -- the same photograph used for postcards by several manufacturers and publishers of a female canoeist with a large hair-do or brimmed hat.
There are several versions of this card in the collection, with a confusing tangle of credit lines for manufacturers and publishers. This one has a "three-quarters" divided back, with a credit running vertically down the dividing line: "9721 The Metropolitan Publishing Co., Boston, Mass. and Germany." Vertically up the left edge it says, "Printed in Germany."
This card is unused and in good to excellent condition with some corner wear. The back is clean except for the Jackson Homestead stamp.
Postcard type: Divided Back
Estimated Date of Publication: About 1910
