About this postcard

A pastoral greeting view shows a herd of brown-and-white cattle standing in a shallow, blue 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 scene is a generic rural vignette rather than a specific local landmark, issued as a "Greetings from" souvenir for Montgomery City, the seat of Montgomery County in east-central Missouri. Cards of this style were typically sold in local drugstores and newsstands as inexpensive tourist mementos.
