About this piece
Linen postcard showing a curve of Skyline Drive through wooded Blue Ridge mountains, captioned "Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, between Front Royal and Panorama, Va." Card number 141 on the front. Published by Marken & Bielfeld, Inc., Frederick, Md., code 6A-H1740. Standard size about 5.5 x 3.5 inches, unused. Clean, bright card with light edge wear and a tiny mark at lower right of the back.
The back caption explains that this section of the Skyline Drive, opened in September 1936, begins at the Lee Highway (U.S. 211) and runs north over the crest of the Blue Ridge to Front Royal, making a distance of sixty-five miles from Front Royal to Swift Run Gap, the intersection of U.S. 33.
A nice early view of the Drive for Shenandoah, Blue Ridge and Virginia road-trip collectors.
