Towering royal palms pierce a pale tropical sky above a quiet road in Bermuda, where a lone figure strolls beneath the fronds in this beautifully hand-colored Edwardian-era view — sent from St. George's by someone named Doretta to a woman named Hallie in Barony, New York. Published by the Hamilton photography and Kodak dealership of Wm. Weiss & Co. and printed in Germany, the card exemplifies the high-quality chromolithographic hand-coloring typical of pre-WWI German-printed colonial souvenir cards; the soft gradients of the sky and the rendered stonework wall along the road lend it an almost painterly quality. The message, written in a graceful cursive hand, offers warm winter greetings. The reverse carries a St. George's Bermuda duplex cancel and the stamp has been removed, leaving a clean impression of the postmark dated in the mid-1910s.
