About this piece
Antique divided-back postcard captioned "First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Fla.," card no. 13623. The color-printed view shows the stone Romanesque church with its tall spired tower, conical corner turrets, large rose-style stained glass window and arcaded entrance, with a horse-drawn carriage at left. Standard size, about 3.5 x 5.5 inches, vertical format. Used condition with corner wear, toning and spotting on the back; postally used, with machine-cancel bars struck across the front.
The back reads "This space for writing messages" and "This space for address only," with the small CT monogram under the Post Card heading. It carries a green 1c Franklin stamp tied by a wavy-line machine cancel (date not legible) and is addressed in pencil to Miss Hattie Smith, Tolono, Ill. No message.
A nice early Jacksonville church view for Baptist, Florida or Duval County collectors.
