About this postcard

The front is a large-letter souvenir card reading "Greetings from Oregon," with the letters filled by Oregon scenes and a view of Multnomah Falls and its bridge behind. The printed caption at lower right identifies Multnomah Falls, the two-tier waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge, where the Benson Footbridge spans the lower falls. Large-letter cards of this style were widely produced in the linen postcard era.
