Quiet coves, protected bays, and rocky shorelines were commonly highlighted as symbols of restorative leisure, reinforcing Maine’s reputation as a destination defined by natural beauty, clean air, and retreat from urban life. Printed postcards played a key role in circulating these coastal views to national audiences during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"1275\"\u003eThe postcard shows a calm shoreline with rocky outcrops in the foreground, a small sailboat moving across the bay, and wooded land framing the water’s edge under a softly tinted sky. The colorized printing emphasizes tranquil water tones and atmospheric light, while the printed caption identifies the view as Surry Bay, Contention Cove, near Ellsworth. The divided back format reflects standard postcard production practices of the era, allowing for both message and address on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1525\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
