About this postcard
A herd of brown-and-white cattle stands in a shallow stream that winds through a wooded valley. A grassy hillside with scattered trees rises on the right, and one cow grazes alone on the slope. The printed greeting reads "Greetings from Montgomery City, Mo." and names the seat of Montgomery County in east-central Missouri. The image is a stock pastoral view rather than a specific local landmark, a common choice for small-town souvenir cards that paired a place name with a pleasant rural scene. Curt Teich of Chicago printed many such greeting cards, which local shops sold as inexpensive mementos.
