Greetings from Florida — Land of Sunshine

State
Florida
Category

Postcard

A smiling sun and palms frame the oversized FLORIDA lettering. The sunshine slogan gives the small architectural and landscape views a shared theme.

In the late nineteenth century, Henry Flagler extended rail service south along Florida’s Atlantic coast. The new routes helped make resort travel possible on a larger scale, giving greetings like this one an audience of travelers sending news home.
