Description

This postcard features two color illustrations of the townscape of Enterprise, Mississippi, a small town in Clarke County, Mississippi. Both images show a row of buildings with trees lined in front, partially obscuring the buildings from view. An expanse of green land or pasture is visible in the foreground of the image. A black cow is seen standing in the grass on the bottom image. The title of the card is printed in the upper left corner. A partial postmark is visible in the bottom image. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Alice Cline in Columbus, Mississippi. The card is postmarked Enterprise, Miss., June 7, 1912 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed crookedly in the upper right. An inscription is written sideways on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
