Postcard 1921 Yacht Racing Spring Lake Michigan Linen Chicago Postmark

Spring Lake, Michigan, USA1921Pre-linenFair-Good

Full sails billow against a breezy Great Lakes sky as a racing yacht heels gracefully across the sparkling waters of Spring Lake, Michigan — a beautiful action image from a beloved summer resort community just inland from Lake Michigan's eastern shore, captured in vivid hand-tinted color by the V.O. Hammon Publishing Company of Chicago. Postmarked December 12, 1921, from Chicago itself, the card was sent to the same Port Huron, Michigan, address that received the Phoenix card in this batch — suggesting a connected family or household — with a brief, partially legible message mentioning a stop in Chicago "for a boat" and a reference back to Arizona, hinting at an ongoing cross-country correspondence full of travel.
