About this postcard
The card shows a large-letter greeting, with the caption "Greetings from The OZARKS" set in bold letters and the letters of "OZARKS" filled with small scenes of the region: rock formations, a canoe on a river, a fisherman, a waterfall, a bridge, and a man playing guitar on a porch with chickens nearby. The Ozarks are a highland region of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, known for wooded hills, rivers, and folk music. Large-letter cards were a common mid-century way to send a scenic greeting from a vacation or home region.
