Communities like Lowville in upstate New York used illustrated and hand-colored postcards to showcase prosperous business streets, civic identity, and modern transportation developments during the years immediately preceding World War I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eThe postcard presents a broad view down Lower State Street with multi-story brick commercial blocks, utility poles, storefront signage, and several early automobiles traveling along the dirt roadway. Visible businesses and signs, including references to a livery and political clubrooms, provide additional documentary detail tied to everyday commercial life in Lewis County during the period. The 1911 postal use and richly hand-colored presentation make the card an appealing example of early twentieth-century New York street scene postcard photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
