Historical Post Card New York, U.S. View
Front: "Hudson River and Grant's Tomb, Riverside Drive, New York" Back: In leaving New York for a trip up the Hudson River on one of the evening steamers, the panorama of the towering skyline, the busy river where the world's most famous steamers are lup up at their piers, the ferries busily crossing in each direction, the magnificent view of the Riverside Drive lined with palatial residences and apratment houses combine to impress upon the mind the aw-inspiritng greatness of the metropolis of the new world. Grant's tomb is passed just before the steamer stops at the 129th Street landing on its way up the river and the search light usually does not miss the opportunity to illume the imposing structure. N.Y. 331 Posted with a George Washington, One Cent stamp. Used: Travelled from New York to Connecticut, 1920
