A wide, cobblestoned Broadway stretches northward through Lawrence, Massachusetts in this hand-colorized divided-back card postmarked February 6, 1912 — the marquee of the Broadway theatre anchors the left foreground while red-brick commercial blocks line both sides of the avenue, pedestrians dotting the quiet mid-morning scene. Sent by a writer who signs off with affection to Joe at 20 Rose Street in Dorchester Center, the message touches on familiar domestic life, asking after someone named Connie and mentioning traveling "when to a few" — a tender fragment of early 20th-century correspondence that crossed the state in a single day's post.
