Christchurch New Zealand River Avon Winter Littlebury Series Postcard c1902

Christchurch, New Zealand1902Pioneer/Undivided BackGood

Early photomechanical postcard of the River Avon in winter, Christchurch, New Zealand, from the Littlebury Series, no. 93. A solitary figure stands by the river's edge among bare-branched winter willows and poplars, with the slow-moving river curving to the left. A Victorian Gothic house with chimneys is partially visible through the trees at center-right, and a conifer stands tall behind the figure. The scene conveys the particular quietness of a New Zealand winter parkland. The back carries the undivided format with "POST CARD. THE ADDRESS ONLY TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE." — placing this firmly in the pre-divided back era.
