1929 Vernal Falls Yosemite Valley California

Postmarked in 1929, this vintage postcard captures the breathtaking Vernal Falls in Yosemite Valley, California, during a time when travel to national parks was a romantic adventure. The roaring cascade of water tumbling over granite cliffs is rendered in soft, hand-tinted hues typical of the era, evoking the awe that early visitors must have felt. Yosemite became a national park in 1890, but postcards like this helped spread its majesty across the country during the rise of automobile tourism in the 1920s.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
