Wish you were here!
This set of five postcards, one each for Lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, was created as a tribute to Curt Teich & Co., the firm that revolutionized the postcard industry in the 1930s with their dreamy, photographic, hand-retouched “Art-Colortone” linen cards.
They’re all ready for a stamp and a note to a friend to bring a little old-school joy to the mailboxes of your loved ones.
ps.
I grew up just a hop, skip and a jump relatively speaking from Lake Superior in Central Minnesota where I'd spend the afternoons as a child looking for Lake Superior agates with friends. So, I'm fond of that Great Lake in particular.
