Description

This postcard is presumably part of the Souvenir Mail CardThe “waterfall” mechanic makes five double-sided photo images of New York City landmarks flip over one by one when pulling the tab: Brooklyn Bridge, Columbia College Library, New York Clearing House, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bowery, Broadway south of St. Paul’s Church, Sixth Avenue at 23rd Street, Trinity Church, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, and the New York skyline from the North [Hudson] River. Treasured souvenirs preserve memories and ensure that they will be kept.
