Dated September 5, 1938 in the sender's own hand, this atmospheric linen-era card captures the almost lunar expanse of the Bonneville Salt Flats, with Sir Malcolm Campbell's iconic streamlined "Bluebird" racing car a silver dart against the blinding white salt — the very machine that shattered the 301 mph land speed record in September 1935, making history just three years before this card was mailed. The Pilot Mountains rise purple and ochre on the horizon beneath a dramatically clouded sky, the cracked salt surface etched in the foreground like ancient writing. A sender signing as "Ma" writes to "Mr. Harry [last name redacted] Jr." at 1671 Madison St. N.W., Washington, D.C., wishing he could see the speedway and confiding it "looks like nothing but salt beds — having fine fun and do sleep." A wonderfully candid traveler's report from one of motorsport's most legendary locations.
