Postcard from a Bird’s-eye View of Duluth in 1912
Postmarked July 27, 1912, this image shows Downtown Duluth from an Observation Hill vantage point. A different version of this postcard was posted on Perfect Duluth Day a bit more than a year ago, sparking some discussion about the vantagepoint of the image and the likelihood that it represents Duluth circa 1900. (In other words, the image likely represents a scene in Duluth from 12 years before the card was mailed.)
The card in this post is simply for the purpose of marking 110 years since it was sent and recognizing the oddly simplistic message written on the back.
It is signed by Charles E. H. and the recipient is Mr. Max Kolfelt of Chatham, N.Y. The message reads:
Think I shall go on to the coast and stay until 1915. See you then.
