chs-012622Description
This vintage Christmas photo postcard, an image of Craigville over the Chester-Washingtonville Road Cromline Creek bridge and dated circa 1900, features a black and white photograph depicting a serene rural scene with two covered bridges spanning a tranquil stream, surrounded by houses and lush vegetation, accentuated by three stylized snowflakes and the words "Christmas Wishes" to convey seasonal greetings.
The reverse displays a handwritten message on a yellowed piece of paper with staining likely due to age. The cursive script reads: "Dear Hester + Mark, Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a nice trip south. Enjoy your endeavors and a safe return home. Fondest regards, Rena."Subject Person/Organization
