A sweeping panorama from the summit of Mt. Greylock unfolds in hand-tinted halftone glory — spruce and fir crowding the ridgeline, a bleached snag catching the light, and the blue-purple Berkshire ridges receding toward infinity. This early souvenir was sold aboard or at stops along the Boston & Albany Railroad, one of New England's great passenger corridors through the hill towns of western Massachusetts. Mt. Greylock, at 3,491 feet the highest point in the Commonwealth, had drawn tourists since the mid-19th century; Herman Melville could see it from his Pittsfield farmhouse and named it in Pierre. The Union News Company (UNCo), operating newsstands in railroad depots across the Northeast, distributed cards like this one to travelers passing through on their way to the Berkshire resorts.
