The card reads "Greetings from St. Petersburg, Florida" and subtitles the city "The Sunshine City." The large letters are filled with local vignettes—palm trees, a pelican, a pier, and waterfront buildings—set against an orange sunset. St. Petersburg developed as a Florida resort and retirement destination in the early 20th century, and large-letter greeting cards were a popular mid-century souvenir format.
