Central Point on Lake Pepin, Divided Back Postcard, Minnesota, 1908

This vintage postcard features a serene view of Central Point on Lake Pepin, framed by lush trees and a tranquil water scene. The image is numbered 4245 and captures the natural beauty of the Minnesota landscape. The postcard is a divided back type, typical of the era between 1907 and 1915, allowing for both a message and an address on the reverse side.

The back of the card is postmarked September 9, 1908, from Wabasha, Minnesota, and is addressed to Miss Mabel Merell in St. Paul, Minnesota. The stamp is a green one-cent Franklin, common for the period. The message reads: "Dear Mabel & Edith, Rec'd your card some time ago. I hear you are coming home soon. How I would like to see that baby. Frances was over and staid with me while Lou went to the fair. Mother went to Minneapolis and expects to go to Ellsworth before she comes home. Baby climbed to the top of the stairs by herself this morning. Lovingly, Maud." The card shows some wear typical of its age, with minor edge and corner wear.
