Description

Black and white postcard of the Whittier Birthplace and John Greenleaf Whittier. A drawing of the Birthplace is off center, with a rectangular portrait of Whittier as an older man overlaid on the bottom left corner. There are illustrations of pine cones and pine needles with a fragment of one of Whittier's poems. Black text at the very bottom reads [Birthplace of John Greenleaf Whittier, built 1680, Haverhill, Mass.]. On the back of the postcard, there is a publisher's mark at the very bottom and a generic stamp box. The postcard has not been used and there is an inscription on the back with the inventory number.
