A hand-colored panoramic view of Alton Bay spills across the cover of this charming 1903 accordion fold-out souvenir — the kind of keepsake a summer tourist would have tucked into an envelope and mailed home as proof of a New Hampshire escape. The cover image, richly tinted in greens and teals, sweeps across the village nestled at the foot of a forested hill, with a steamboat visible at the lakeside docks, tiny figures hinting at the bustle of a resort town in its Gilded Age prime. Inside, the accordion unfolds to reveal miniature black-and-white vignettes including the iconic Steamer Mount Washington and scenic islands in Lake Winnipesaukee — a beloved freshwater lake that had already become a magnet for Boston-area summer visitors by the turn of the century. The piece was mailed from Wolfeboro, NH, in July 1903, addressed to a Ralph in Sagamore, Massachusetts, and bears a 1-cent Franklin stamp — classic printed-matter postage of the era. The fold-out format, registered as No. 373, was a popular novelty of the period, offering travelers a compact gallery of scenes in a single mailable package.
