About this piece

Sepia-tone Albertype postcard of the Catholic Church in Winter Harbor, Maine, captioned on the front "Catholic Church Winter Harbor, Maine." Shows a shingled church with a pointed gable, tracery window, crosses on the roof peaks and a small side tower, set among trees and brush with a path in front. Published by J. M. Gerrish, Winter Harbor, Me. White border style, standard 3.5 x 5.5 in, unposted. Good vintage condition with toning, scuffing through a letter of the caption, a surface spot at upper right, and light corner and edge wear.

Back: "Published by J. M. Gerrish, Winter Harbor, Me." at top and "Post Cards of Quality. - The Albertype Co., Brooklyn, N.Y." with a vertical POST CARD imprint. A handwritten note in ink reads "Church used for summer visitors closed in winter," and "No 4" is penciled or inked at lower right. No stamp or postmark.

A nice local-publisher view for Maine coast and church postcard collectors.
