NEW JERSEY NEWARK BIRDS EYE VIEW FROM THE PRUDENTIAL BUILDING PRE 1907 Postcard:
$12.95
___________ This is an early undivided back post card, postally unused circa 1904. Card shows a birds eye view of Newark, New Jersey from the Prudential Building. Card publisher is Arthur Livingston, New York, 506. The overall condition is average, always check corners and edges for possible wear (see scan). Card has a very creased top left hand corner and other minor edge and corner wear. As grading is subjective, please look at scan for faults/defects. A postally unused card may have writing on the reverse. Prior to March 1907, it was against federal law to write any type of message on the address side of a postcard and the back was plain with no dividing bar down the center. These are called \"undivided backs\" or \"UDB\". However, Congress passed a law allowing postcard makers to designate a space for personal messages on the address side, effective March 1, 1907. For this reason many postcards up to 1907 have messages across their fronts. Writing on the front of early postcards is not a fault. ___________ The postcard view is now highly sought after by many institutions (including The Smithsonian) and individuals, as it serves as a historical record of the past. Be it the view of a town main street, the local church, school, roadside attraction or the countryside, the post card mirrors the way our parents, grandparents and even we, once lived. Captured in these olden day images are views of people in the dress of the day, often at work, at play, at school or at church. These views show an unaltered presentation of the life and times of the rapidly developing USA. The post card was a \"collectable\" item for people from the time of its first introduction in this country. By 1910 and through the 1940\'s, \"exchanging\" views with contacts who started out as strangers, became very common place. The names and addresses of exchangers were freely passed around. Often times one will see messages on the reverse to the effect, \"Will you exchange cards with me? I like post offices (or whatever)\". With the magic of a post card take a trip down memory lane! ___________ I always try to ship within 1 business day of receiving payment. Thank you for looking at my items.
