Postcard 1908 Town Hall Millbury Massachusetts Litho-Chrome Antique Used

Millbury, Massachusetts, USA1908Pre-linenGood

Sent in the golden age of postcard mania, this crisp Litho-Chrome card from Germany showcases the handsome red-brick Romanesque Revival Town Hall of Millbury, Massachusetts — its pointed slate steeple piercing a pastel summer sky, arched entry doorways framing cool shadow, and mature elms throwing dappled shade over the cobblestone street below — while on the image face a sender has scrawled a tantalizing message to Nellie in Stafford Springs: "I do not need any more med. after this trip — your nurse," a wry little note that hints at a restorative summer journey and a warm friendship carried across the New England countryside by a one-cent Franklin stamp postmarked Millbury, July 14, 1908.
