Scope and content
Real-photo postcard with image of a railroad bridge swept away by flood waters the night of September 17, 1942, in Spring Valley, Wisconsin. Title supplied by cataloger. Probably printed on EKC paper (this stamp box design used 1930-1950), as most of the cards in this set have that logo undamaged in the stamp box. Verso shows signs of having been removed from a scrapbook, otherwise unused.
