A sun-drenched harbor morning on Martha's Vineyard — dozens of small catboats and knockabouts crowd the docks at Edgartown, their canvas sails loosely furled or catching the first breeze, while a mustachioed skipper in a white captain's cap stands with hand on hip in an inset oval portrait, every inch the confident mariner who knew every tack of Edgartown Harbor. Published by the Edgartown Drug Co. and printed by the Albertype Company of Brooklyn — one of America's finest collotype postcard printers — this pre-linen black-and-white view captures the golden era of New England summer sailing culture, when a fleet of rental catboats was as essential to a seaside inn as a good breakfast. The Harborside Inn was a beloved Edgartown institution, and this card served as both advertisement and souvenir for guests who arrived each summer from Boston and New York. The Albertype collotype process gives the image a remarkable tonal richness rarely seen in later linen-era cards.
