Three children sit lazily on the grass beneath a spreading tree in front of Cobleskill's handsome Romanesque Revival brick high school — a quintessential small-town New York scene frozen in the early 1900s, when this Schoharie County village's pride in its new school building was worth sharing with the world. Published by Charles W. Hughes of Mechanicville, N.Y., and printed in the United States with the "I&L Co. Famous Quality" trade mark, the card was mailed September 23 (year unclear, likely 1909–1912) from Cobleskill to Harold Ames at 915 W. Church St. (later corrected to Gray), Elmira, N.Y., with a simple "Uncle Ed" written on the message side. The one-cent green Washington stamp and divided-back format date this squarely in the golden age of American postcard collecting.
