A multi-view greeting for Ocean City, New Jersey, gathers four oval scenes around a central tilted panel of a black dog on the sand: gulls over the surf, sailboats offshore, a motor launch crowded with bathers, and a moonlit sea. Ocean City is a barrier-island resort on the southern New Jersey shore, laid out in 1879 as a dry, family-oriented seaside town. The mix of beach, boat, and novelty dog images fits the souvenir trade that served summer visitors, and the sender's note reports grand weather during a July stay.
