Description

This postcard features a black and white image of the First Baptist Church in Vicksburg, Mississippi, a one story building with a Gothic style tower in the center and arched, stained glass windows. A tree is seen to the right of the church and an early 20th century car is seen on the street in front. The title of the card is printed along the bottom edge of the card. The back of the card is addressed to Sears Roebucks Co. in Chicago, Illinois and is postmarked Vicksburg, Mississippi, August 6, 1919. The bottom of a green, one cent postage stamp is in the upper right corner and an inscription is written on the left half of the card. [see transcription field] The card appears to have been cut at the top, partially removing the postmarked and the postage stamp and possibly part of the inscription.
