This is a vintage postcard featuring a captivating night scene of Upper Broadway, New York. The illustration depicts a bustling cityscape with illuminated buildings, street activity, and a prominent full moon, enhanced with what appears to be glitter or embossed details on the lights, adding a unique texture and sparkle to the scene. The back of the postcard clearly identifies it as a "POST CARD" and indicates it was produced by the Illustrated Postal Card Co. from New York-Germany, with a series number of "96.-28".
The reverse side also features postage information, stating "DOMESTIC AND CANADA ONE CENT" and "FOREIGN TWO CENTS," which helps to date the card to an era when these rates were applicable, likely the early 20th century. A classic eagle design with a shield and olive branch motif is also present. This collectible postcard offers a glimpse into historic New York and is a wonderful addition for enthusiasts of vintage ephemera, New York City history, or postcard collecting.
