Crisp linen color brightens this cheerful view of the Palmer, Massachusetts Post Office — a tidy Federal-style brick building with Ionic pilasters, green hipped roof, and the Stars and Stripes snapping above — mailed from Palmer on February 20, 1941, less than a year before the U.S. entered World War II. The sender fills every margin with dense cursive, writing to her friend Dorothy in Belchertown about children, chores, and daily life, closing with a note that she "expects them all the time." Printed by Tichnor Brothers, the leading linen postcard publisher of New England, the card carries their trademark vivid palette and clean graphic style.
