Greetings from Mississippi

c. 1940s
State
Mississippi
Category
Old Mississippi
Format
Postcard

A flower and the state capitol flank the diagonal MISSISSIPPI lettering. The composition gives a statewide greeting a mix of architecture, landscape, and botanical imagery.

Mississippi’s Capitol in Jackson opened in 1903. It was built on the former state penitentiary site and replaced the building now known as the Old Capitol Museum. On this postcard, the dome gives a statewide greeting an identifiable place.
