Description
Howdy from New York City Linen Postcard - Statue of Liberty & Times Square. Discover a vibrant piece of New York City history with this charming multi-view linen postcard. The front prominently features the iconic Statue of Liberty overlooking the harbor, alongside a bustling cityscape that captures the energy of Times Square, complete with vintage advertisements for Bond Clothes, Kinsey Whiskey, and the Park Sheraton Hotel. A friendly "Howdy from New York" message diagonally overlays the scene, rendered in a distinctive red and yellow script that evokes the era's popular greeting card aesthetic. This collectible postcard is a classic example of the 'linen' postcard type, characterized by its textured surface which mimics linen fabric and was popular from the 1930s through the 1950s. The vivid, almost dreamlike colorization technique used on these cards further enhances their nostalgic appeal. Published by Colourpicture and E. Oumano, this postcard not only serves as a visual memento of New York's grandeur, including mentions of Radio City, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building in its descriptive back, but also reflects the printing artistry of its time. A true historical artifact for collectors of New Yorkana, Americana, and vintage travel memorabilia.
