Postcard 1911 First Presbyterian Church Belvidere NJ Litho-Chrome Antique

Belvidere, New Jersey, USA1911Pre-linenGood

A tall white steeple pierces a soft summer sky above Belvidere, New Jersey's First Presbyterian Church — a Litho-Chrome gem mailed on August 19, 1911, by a sender who apologizes for not writing sooner and grumbles about the return of rainy weather. The hand-tinted image captures the church draped in climbing ivy, its grand arched windows flanked by mature shade trees, a bicycle leaning casually at the front path — a perfect snapshot of small-town American Sabbath life in the early twentieth century. The card traveled from Tranquility, NJ, to Hannah in Warwick, Orange County, New York, carried by a one-cent Franklin stamp.
