This postcard, captioned “Balloon View Harbor, River and Natural Breakwater; Duluth to Left, Superior to Right” raises a few questions. Perhaps the most important one is, how did that tree on the left edge get so tall?
The Minnesota Historical Society dates the card “approximately 1900.” A version from the Marie & Doris Boldt Collection in the Port Huron Museum Collection has a postmark from 1910. The version below was postmarked in 1904.
