This photo post card shows the 476 pulling the San Juan in Gato. It is post WWII because of the Army surplus truck on the loading ramp. Chickens, passengers, a car being loaded/unloaded, people on the porch of Gomez' store--a typical day in what is barely a wide spot in the road. This card was purchased in Chama from a rack full of similar cards about 1966.

The heyday of the post card was basically from 1900-1912 or so. This is a “real photo” card, showing a residence. Itinerant photographers would travel from town to town, take photos of homes of prominent citizens (or others who paid them) and sell copies to the owner, who could then send photos of the house to friends, etc. Photographers in various communities, as well, did the same for their locales. What endures from this passion for photographing and sharing images of homes is a wonderful record of the domestic architecture from that time period.
In an obviously rural location, this 2 1/2-story frame home has a basement and an attic; it has a steep gable roof. There are two visible interior chimneys. A tower with a sharp pointed sort-of pyramidal roof dominates the plane of the front façade. The small front porch shows turned posts supporting the porch roof, turned balusters and ornamental brackets. Below the porch is a lattice-enclosed space. Just above the entrance is a small jerkinhead dormer. The side façade provides a food view of fenestration with window width not as prominent as on the tower. A tiny side porch remains faithful to the ornamentation of the front porch.

A post card cartoon depicts the difficulties of travel over early-day highways in the Klamath Basin.
probably from the early 1900s - this post card was never sent.
That headdress (with the little black hat) was a regional tradition from the Haute Loire. Love her shawl, her hands that have done plenty of hard work and her lace pillow - very traditional from the area and that she has 2 different shapes of bobbin there.
Unfortunately the piece of lace on the pillow moved and is a blur but I'm guessing it would've been 'Cluny'

c1915 postcard view of employees posing for the photographer in front of the Auburn Post Card Manufacturing Company at Auburn, Indiana.
This postcard probably was based on a photograph taken between 1915 and 1920. The 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Auburn shows only the two-story building on the north side of East Seventh Street between North East Street (North Union Street today) and Cedar Creek. The address was 318-322 East Seventh Street. Notes on the map sheet explain that the building shown in the map set was “from plans” and "to be occupied by the Auburn Post Card Co." Either the plans changed or the single-story building in this postcard scene was added later.
The company’s name changed a few times over the years, but it remained a printing company. Today, a successor printing company, Messenger, occupies the building at 318 East Seventh Street. The older building has been either heavily remodeled or replaced, but has the same basic footprint along East Seventh Street. The postcard view was looking northeast from the south side of East Seventh Street.

Thousands of "Pink Flamingo's in the water of Lake Nakuru, Kenya Africa while zebras graze the shore line. Kind of looks like something out of a story book. It was a wonderful story that my daughter and I shared together. Thank You Lord !!

Post Card in my collection. Not sure where it was taken or what the organization would be. I suppose it might have been a Methodist Camp Meeting.

A hay stacking operation typical of the early 1900s, when horsepower was used to move hay from the field, and to hoist bundles to the top of a hay stack. A derrick outfitted with ropes and pulleys enabled workers to raise large stacks. Considerable skill was required to build a stack that would shed rain without falling apart.

Klamath Falls photographer C.R. Miller took many photos at Crater Lake during the summer months. This is one of a few taken during the winter at a time when the only way to reach the rim was to ski from some point below.
