Hand-colored pre-linen postcard captioned "Cuyahoya River above Glens, Akron, O." [sic — "Cuyahoga"]. An evocative winter industrial scene showing the frozen Cuyahoga River gorge in deep snow, flanked by mill buildings, brick factories, tall smokestacks, utility poles, and industrial infrastructure — a striking document of early 20th century Akron at the height of its industrial development. The warm pink-orange sunset sky contrasts with the blue-white snow. Publisher: PCK Series ("The Peacock"), no. 8007, Made in Germany, no. 126345.
