Burris Lab School Muncie Indiana Postcard 1943 Curteich Linen WWII Era. This vintage Curteich-Chicago 'C.T. Colortone' postcard beautifully depicts the Burris Laboratory School, part of Ball Teachers' College, located in Muncie, Indiana. The vibrant linen texture and distinctive colorization characteristic of Curteich postcards from this era bring to life the impressive brick architecture of the school building, framed by mature trees and a neatly manicured lawn, with an American flag prominently displayed. The scene captures a moment in time for this significant educational institution. The reverse side of this historical postcard reveals a fascinating glimpse into the past, bearing a clear Muncie, Indiana postmark from October 27, 1943. It was sent by "Cadet Bertram H. Silverman" from Lucina Hall in Muncie to Dr. & Mrs. I. Silverman in Birmingham, Alabama, during the World War II era. The handwritten message provides a personal narrative, mentioning an "arrig and physics test" and discussing the purchase of pictures, offering a unique personal connection to the period.
