From the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and 11th Street, this richly colored white border postcard captures Marquette University's Milwaukee campus in full early-Depression-era glory — brick Gothic academic halls in warm amber and the soaring twin spires of the Church of the Gesu piercing a powder-blue sky, while a row of period automobiles lines the curb below. Postmarked Milwaukee, June 8, 1932, the card carries a warm personal message from a traveler named Mrs. J.H. Phillips (first name not given) to her friend Mrs. Wm. Stringer (recipient's first name not given) at 14 8th Street in Port Huron, Michigan — "Here I am just having a lovely time. How are all the folks? I will be home soon. Love to all." A genuine Depression-era social document, the card traveled during one of America's most difficult years, yet radiates simple joy.
