Inside a cinder-block Florida packing shed, young workers in suspenders and flat caps sort mountains of glistening yellow grapefruit — a chromolithograph snapshot of the Sunshine State's booming citrus trade in the early 1910s, when Florida groves were transforming swampland into agricultural gold. Wooden shipping crates are stacked head-high along the left wall, a "Red Rock Ginger Ale" advertising tin gleams on the back wall, and the air must have been thick with the sharp sweetness of cut fruit. The hand-tinted color heightens the vivid yellow-green of the grapefruit against the grey concrete. On the reverse, sender Maggie writes in looping cursive to Miss Elsie (addressed to 1906 Edmondson Ave., Baltimore, Md.) from Sanford, Florida, recounting a whirlwind tour: she arrived to visit, will return to Orlando the next day, then leave the 7th to spend four days in Jacksonville before heading to Washington — a window into the casual long-distance travel of a prosperous Edwardian-era woman. Mailed with a green 1¢ Benjamin Franklin stamp (Scott #331 or #357 series, c.1908–1910), postmarked Sanford, Florida.
