In addition to the proud postcard memorials to local monuments or scenic splendors, plus the enormous variety of seasonal and holiday greetings, a large number of romantic, sentimental, and comic cards can be found.

(Some postcards from the early 20th century and the “roaring twenties” are risqué even by contemporary standards.)

This view of a well-dressed couple (enjoying a private promenade) claims to represent Lancaster, PA.

The illustration, however, is a generic one to which an enterprising printer could affix any local name.

I have not seen a card exactly like this one, but the form of the greeting was used for many geographical locations.

It was not mailed, but was printed circa 1910.
