Bathed in the warm pinks and golds of a late-afternoon sky, the Statue of Liberty stands in full frontal majesty on Bedloe's Island — her copper-green robes richly rendered by linen-era colorists, the granite-and-concrete pedestal rising from manicured hedgerows and a small outbuilding visible at lower left — in a classic Colourpicture linen card that captured every American tourist's dream of New York Harbor in the postwar years. This view (card no. 14805, sequence no. 11) is a companion to numerous Colourpicture Liberty images but distinguishes itself with a warmer, more golden palette than the blue-sky variants. Postmarked September 26, 1947 from New York — with a "Save the [War Bonds] / Buy U.S." machine slogan cancel still visible, a relic of wartime savings promotion habits lingering into the early postwar period — the card was mailed by two women, Myrtle and Evelyn, to Mr. and Mrs. John F. in Arlington, Virginia (with a forwarding correction to Brentwood, Maryland), describing a vacation spent in New York City and a trip out to the Statue the previous day, a quintessential American postwar holiday snapshot full of quiet joy.
