1 photograph : print, sepia toned ; sheet 9 x 14 cm (postcard format)

Real-photo postcard with image of Main Street in New Richmond, Wisconsin, showing many pedestrians, automobiles, and at least one horse and buggy, one man riding a horse, and one motorcycle. The street is lined on both sides with ornate 7-globe streetlights similar to ones used in Los Angeles (1909) and New York (1905). Business signs are not visible or are too small to read. The photograph was taken in the summer, based on the women's white hats and dresses, and the fully leafed-out trees. Date based on the automobiles and the women's clothing. Printed on Azo Paper, with two triangles pointing up and two down (used 1910-1930). Unused.

Corners somewhat dog-eared; several creases on lower half of the image
