After my grandmother passed away, I decided to undertake a large task of cataloguing the large (over 600) postcard collection that we had enjoyed viewing while she was alive. Within the collection included a postcard album dated with postmark dates ranging from 1908-1909.

This picture postcard was printed in 1908, and features Gertrude Kinnear sitting on the arm of an ornate chair in early twentieth century attire that many affluent women wore including a large hat with flowers.

Inscription on verso:

1908

Gran's sister (notated at an unknown time by Elizabeth Mealy)

Original Collection passed from Gertrude Kinnear to her sister Luree Jobe to her daughter Eleanor Jobe, who left it to her niece Elizabeth A. Mealy who left it to her granddaughter Caitlin Mealy.
