A red 1950s sedan and a dark car travel a curving two-lane highway that sweeps through grassy hills and dense green woodland, with telephone poles following the road; the large red greeting 'Greetings From Virginia' is printed across the sky. Such state-greeting cards were a staple of mid-century American roadside tourism, when the new interstate and improved highway system made auto touring popular. The styling of the cars and the chrome-era color printing point to the 1950s.
Chrome-era color halftone with a thin white margin at the right edge; no publisher imprint visible on the front.
No postmark. Chrome-era 'Natural Color Klard' card, printed in U.S.A., with publisher address P.O. Box 67, Station A, Berkeley, Calif.; card number C12159G in the stamp box. Light surface wear and a few stray ink specks.
