Postcard 1957 Hudson River NY Folder 14 Views West Point Sing Sing Linen

Hudson River Valley, NY, USA1957ChromeFair-Good

Unfold this accordion-style souvenir folder and fourteen vivid Artchrome views of the Hudson River Valley spill out in glorious mid-century color — from the steel latticework of the George Washington Bridge in New York City all the way north to Albany, taking in West Point's gothic battlements reflected in the Hudson's blue water, the eerie walls of Sing Sing Prison at Ossining, the legendary Mill Dam and Old Mill at Sleepy Hollow where Washington Irving set his headless horseman, the graceful arc of the Tappan Zee Bridge newly opened in 1955, and parkland estates along the riverbanks. Published in 1957 by Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago — the undisputed king of American linen and early chrome postcard printing — and distributed by Gramatan Art Co. of Mt. Vernon, New York, this folder is a remarkable time capsule of postwar American tourism along one of the nation's most historic waterways. The cover features a bold red-and-white graphic design with a color inset of the GWB; the interior accordion panels remain crisp, bright, and undetached. Unused and unaddressed.
