Antique & Vintage Postcards

Early postcard of the U.S. Quarantine Station at Rosebank, Staten Island, New York, viewed from the water — the observation tower and administrative buildings are visible on the left, and a large Gothic Revival residence for medical officers rises on the hill behind. The postcard was mailed from Rosebank Station itself, giving it direct provenance from the site. Back features a patriotic eagle-and-shield vignette and "Post Card" heading.
