📬 Information on the Back of the Postcard

🏛️ Publisher & Postal Note

📌 Context
This postcard has a \"divided back,\" meaning the back is split into two distinct sections: one for the address and stamp, and the other for a message. In the United States, divided back postcards were first permitted by the U.S. Post Office Department on March 1, 1907. This design allowed senders to write a message on the address side, freeing up the entire front of the postcard for an image. Therefore, this postcard was manufactured and intended for use sometime after March 1, 1907, commonly referred to as the \"Post Card Era\" (1907-1915 for undivided, but 1907 onwards for divided). Since this card is unused, there are no postal markings or personal messages to provide further specific context. The numbers \"#68\" and \"$2⁰⁰\" are likely retailer or collector markings.
