A map of Florida occupies the upper half of this portrait-format card. The printed map connects the greeting with travel across the peninsula rather than a single city.
A 1919 Dixie Highway map in the State Library of Florida shows how early road guides helped motorists plan trips into the state. The map on this postcard likewise makes a journey through Florida part of the souvenir.
