I believe that this is a generic scene that has been ascribed to Nuremburg, PA – but I was unfamiliar with the place so I purchased the postcard for twenty-five cents.
Nuremberg is a small farming community located across the county line of Schuylkill and Luzerne Counties of east-central Pennsylvania.

The community has had a post office since 1886, when the census-designated place was known as “New London”.
(There was a pre-existing Post Office of “New London” in Chester County – requiring the new name of “Nuremberg”.)
Photos of the area show rolling hills of meadows and fields, not unlike the postcard view.
It appears to be late Summer or early Fall as some autumnal hues are seen in the trees and foliage,

On the face of the postcard, we see a team of mules puling a wagon on which two men are loading the harvest.
One man is forking an enormous bundle of grass or grain onto the wagon, while his counterpart deftly and carefully builds the load so that the weight is distributed evenly and that the forkfuls can be unloaded efficiently.
Nearby, there are tidy heaps of produce where the reapers have done their work,
In the distance, sheep graze on the grassy hills.

The postcard was published by Tichnor Bros. of Boston, using a patented process called “Tichnor Quality Views”.
We have seen other postcards published by this venerable New England firm of publishers.
I suspect that the patented process was related to the manufacture of the new “linen-style” postcard.
It is likely that a local printing office or enterprising entrepreneur printed the place name on what was a blank stock photo.
Nevertheless, the scene would not have been unfamiliar to the folks who worked the fields in Nuremberg.
