Discover a unique pair of early 20th-century postcards, each capturing a distinct American scene and offering a glimpse into postal history. The first postcard showcases a classic view of the United States Capitol in Washington D.C., a monumental landmark whose central building dates back to 1797. This printed lithograph, published by Washington News Co. and Colorchrome, features a hand-colored appearance, characteristic of the era\'s postcard production. The reverse bears a fascinating dual postmark from 1922, including a special \"National Post Card Week\" cancellation, adding a layer of collectibility.The second postcard transports you to the scenic Correll Beach on Lake Erie, New York, depicting a rugged coastline with a distinctive rock formation in the water. This topographical view, likely a printed lithograph, captures the natural beauty of the region. Postmarked October 24, 1913, from Dunkirk, N.Y., both cards are addressed to Miss Celia Morrison, creating a personal connection and historical narrative between the two pieces. These postcards are not just images; they are tangible artifacts of early 20th-century travel and communication, perfect for collectors of Americana, topographical views, and postal history.
