This rare antique color-tinted postcard features a scenic view titled Navy Yard in the Wisconsin Dells, located near Kilbourn, Wisconsin. Part of the Views of the Wisconsin Dells series, the image captures the unique sandstone rock formations along the Wisconsin River, framed by an elegant Art Nouveau-style border with decorative columns. Prior to 1898, only the U.S. government was allowed to print and mail "Postal Cards." After the Private Mailing Card Act of 1898, private printing companies were legally permitted to produce their own mailers.
