Description

Vintage U.S. Custom House New York City Linen Postcard 1939. This vintage linen postcard showcases the iconic U.S. Custom House in New York City, a grand neoclassical building situated at the foot of Broadway facing Bowling Green. The postcard vividly captures the architectural details, including the ornate sculptures adorning the rooftop and the prominent entrance flanked by statues. Printed in vibrant colors typical of early 20th-century linen postcards, this piece reflects the era's unique printing techniques that lend a textured, fabric-like finish. The back of the postcard features a 1939 postmark from Charlotte, N.C., with a 1-cent George Washington postage stamp, adding historical authenticity and charm. Descriptive text on the reverse highlights the building's location on the former site of Fort Amsterdam and its role housing various government branches. Published by Manhattan Post Card Publishing Co., this postcard is a collectible representation of New York City's architectural heritage and early postcard artistry.
