Antique & Vintage Postcards

Framed between mossy basalt cliffs draped in Pacific Northwest ferns, a slender footbridge arches across the narrow gorge of Multnomah Falls — at 620 feet the tallest waterfall in Oregon — as the twin tiers of white water thunder past it in a long silver ribbon, a handful of tiny figures visible on the bridge railing, dwarfed by the scale of the Columbia River Gorge. This striking real-photo postcard (RPPC) carries the catalog reference "W 95 – Multnomah Falls 620 ft. – Columbia River Highway, Oregon" in white type along the lower edge and was published for the burgeoning Pacific Highway tourist trade of the 1920s. The reverse is unused and blank, with a standard American undivided correspondence/address format and "Place Postage Stamp Here" box, suggesting late 1910s–1920s production.
