Antique & Vintage Postcards

From a high vantage point on Jefferson Hill, a river bends lazily through a patchwork of bare-limbed trees and autumn-tinted woodland — the Catskill Mountains rolling blue and hazy on the horizon in this handsome 1912 hand-colored view. Published by Fred Clarke from his Kodak Place shop right in Catskill, NY, this card carries both a catalogue number (406316) and the copyright notice "©1912 by Clarke," making it a locally produced keepsake of the Hudson Valley at its most scenic. The "Superior Quality" SV imprint on the reverse confirms it was printed to a premium standard for the era, likely on imported German stock before WWI disrupted that trade. Unused and never mailed, it survives in clean, bright condition — a charming artifact of early-20th-century tourism in upstate New York.
