EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the early days of airplane mail service in the United States, circa 1913. The image showcases a biplane soaring through the skies above a picturesque agricultural field in Multnomah County, Oregon. This historic moment marks an important connection between transportation and communication as it depicts one of the earliest attempts to deliver mail by air. The postcard, produced by the renowned Curt Teich Company, is a testament to the significance of this milestone in American aviation history. It serves as both a visual memento and an informative piece with text detailing key information about this groundbreaking government initiative. In this scene, we see two males aboard the aircraft – likely pilot Walter Edwards and another individual associated with this pioneering endeavor. Surrounding them are excited onlookers, including adults from diverse backgrounds who have gathered to witness this marvel of technology. The lithographic print beautifully captures every detail of this significant event - from the aircraft itself to the vast expanse of cropland below. Its vibrant colors and intricate design make it an exceptional addition to any collection or display related to early aviation or postal services. Preserved within Lake County Museum's archives, this postcard offers us a glimpse into North America's rich history while highlighting how far we've come in terms of transportation and communication systems. It symbolizes progress and innovation that continues to shape our world today.
