Description

This postcard features a color illustration of women in white dresses and white blouses with black skirts gathered on a walkway that leads to an arch that Whitworth College lettered inside. Trees are behind and beside the women and a pink building is seen at the far end of the line of women. The title of the card is printed in red along the top of the card. An illegible inscription is written over the title. The back of the card is addressed to Mr. E.J. Sharpsteen in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The card is postmarked Brookhaven, Mississippi, January 15, 1911 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner. An inscription is written sideways on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
