Postcard from Cape Cod.
This postcard is over 100 years old. We don’t have an exact date, but the New Englander who sent it to me last week via the USPS says that it is his grandmother, so he has some sense of the dates.
On the back of this post card it says, “HAND COLORED.”
That term is usually used to describe the hand coloring of black and white photographs. Eileen used to hand color some of my images. If you have some old photographs you might consider hand coloring them.
On the back it says, “A PRETTY BIT OF ROAD BETWEEN PROVINCETOWN AND RACE POINT, Coast Guard Station, Cape Cod, Mass.”
Race Point is the extreme northernmost place on Cape Cod at the National Seashore, run by the National Park Service.
My friend was born in Provincetown. The Truro Dunes (seen in my photo above) are nearby and protected by the National Seashore Park.
