Comanche appears above the big TEXAS lettering. Bluebonnets and a view of the state capitol situate the local greeting within the broader imagery of Texas.
Comanche replaced nearby Cora as the county seat in 1859. Its first courthouse was a simple log structure. The local name printed on this postcard identifies a specific Central Texas town within the broader statewide design.
