About this postcard
The words "MORGANTON NORTH CAROLINA" fill the card, each letter packed with a small local view: a waterfall, a lakeside scene, a flowering garden, a church tower, a stone obelisk, and the North Carolina state flag. The letters sit against a blue, yellow, and red ground with green leaves at the lower right. Morganton is the seat of Burke County in the foothills of western North Carolina, a region known for its waterfalls, lakes, and mountain scenery. Large-letter cards like this were a common mid-century souvenir format, compressing a town's landmarks into the letters of its name.
