Description

This postcard features a color illustration of the New Magnolia Hotel in Pass Christian, Mississippi, a three story building with dormer windows across the roofline, decorative railings along the porch, and a sign bearing the hotel's name lettered on the porch roof above the entrance. People are depicted as standing on the front porch steps and threes and flowering bushes fill the hotel lawn, partially obscuring the view of the hotel. The title of the card is printed in the lower left edge of the image. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Belle McVoy in Cantonment, Florida and is postmarked Pass Christian, Mississippi, July 1915. A green, one cent George Washington postage stamp is placed sideways in the upper right corner and an inscription is written upside down and diagonally on the left half of the card.
