BIM2020.005.259Description
Two colorized photograph postcards of the Newport Harbor with various yachts and taller sailing ships passing the docks. There is some kind of a large covered ship that is possibly under construction or just has a strange frame build to the left. One of the prints has a white frame with the title along the bottom left and the print number on the bottom right.
One copy is used and one copy is unused. Both were published by Balboa Pharmacy and printed by Curtiech-Chicago. The print number is 84038/A-84038. The unused copy has lines for the address and has a simpler text on the back. The used postcard has a more elaborate script on the back.
The sent copy was mailed July 13, 1923 to Elise Fairbanks in Manchester, New Hampshire from Mabel Scudder.Subject

Dear E- We are here for the summer, with the John Scudders (Bo's Brother). On Sept. 15 we will go into our own house in Claremont. We are so happy to feel that we have a nest of our own- at last. We decided that Clairmont was about ideal for K. Someday you shall hear all about the new home. It is comfortable [---] on a lot 80 x 210 with a rose garden and citrus trees and grapes, etc. Hope that you are having a good summer. All yours,
Mabel P. ScudderLanguage
