Description

Postcard, ca. 1900s. The postcard was published by De Wit Bros., Co., Ogden, Utah. The postcard shows an illustration in color of a train crossing a bridge over the "Great Salt Lake Cuttoff, Utah." The reverse side is divided one side for a correspondence, and the other for an address, postage stamp. At the top right, is a paragraph with information regarding the Great Salt Lake Cut-off. Along the divider is the name of the art company who created the image, "C.T. American Art." The postcard has minor soiling, and abrasion damage to the edges. A light streak of parallel lines is visible to the front side, along the right edge possibly due to a printing process error. Also, most noticable on the reverse side is begining signs of foxing. The general condition is good.
