Description

This postcard features a color illustration of the buildings that line Washington Street in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Cable car tracks run down the center of the street and horses and wagons are on the sides of the street by the sidewalks. Two of the buildings on the left have signs painting on the sides and front, though mostly partially readable. The title of the card is printed in red in the upper left of the image. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Cora Fryer in Natchez, Mississippi. The card is postmarked Vicksburg, Mississippi, August 8, 1908 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]
