This real photo postcard (RPPC) offers a peaceful scenic view of the Mississippi River near Brainerd, Minnesota, circa the 1930s. The image shows the river gently curving through a heavily forested landscape, with a glassy reflection visible on the calm water. The treeline, untouched natural banks, and soft lighting make this a striking photographic composition of central Minnesota’s river environment.
The postcard is postmarked September 24, 1936, Brainerd, Minn., and features a 1¢ green George Washington stamp, a standard issue for postcards at the time. The strong contrast and fine photographic detail make this a desirable card for collectors of RPPC river views or Brainerd-area ephemera.
Back of card reads:
“Hi – Minnesota with friends today. Greetings from Chester and the girls. Someone of us is going near your folks.”
