Description

Excelsior Geyser Overflow Yellowstone National Park Linen Postcard CTCo. This vintage postcard captures the magnificent overflow from Excelsior Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. The vibrant colors and textured finish are characteristic of a classic linen postcard, showcasing the powerful natural phenomenon where over 4,000 gallons of water per minute flow into the Firehole River.

Produced by the renowned Curt Teich & Co., this collectible piece offers a glimpse into the geological wonders of one of America's most iconic national parks. The detailed description on the reverse side provides fascinating historical context, noting the geyser's inactivity since 1888 and the impressive dimensions of its crater. This card is a must-have for collectors of Yellowstone memorabilia, national park souvenirs, or vintage Americana, preserving a captivating moment in natural history.
