Postcard Seven Mile Bridge Pigeon Key Florida Keys Chrome 1956 Used

Florida Keys (Pigeon Key), Florida, USA1956ChromeGood

Shot from altitude, this vivid chrome aerial photograph shows the old Seven Mile Bridge cutting a razor-straight line across luminous shallow water in the Florida Keys, bisecting tiny Pigeon Key — a cluster of white-roofed houses, royal poinciana trees blazing in red bloom, and swaying palms surrounded by an otherworldly palette of turquoise, jade, and sand — one of the most iconic images in mid-century Florida postcard history. Postmarked Key West, February 8, 1956, the card was sent by Naomi to a friend in Attica, Indiana, with an irresistibly enthusiastic message: heading over the bridge the next day, marveling that it stretches seven miles out into the ocean, and declaring it "sure will be a thrill for me."
