Description

This vintage postcard features a striking aerial view of the historic Folsom Prison and the adjacent Folsom Dam located in California. The image vividly captures the sprawling prison complex with its distinctive buildings, the surrounding dry landscape, and the impressive dam in the background. Printed using the Photochrome technique, popular from 1939 to the present, this postcard showcases rich, lifelike colors that highlight the architectural and geographical significance of the site. Published and distributed by Smith-Western Co., Tacoma, WA, this postcard is a continental size (approximately 6 x 4 inches) made of paper material. The photo was taken by Kyle S. Smith, adding to its collectible appeal. The card was printed in Hong Kong and bears the identification number CT-2737. It is an excellent piece for collectors interested in California landmarks, historic prisons, or dam infrastructure, offering a unique glimpse into mid-20th century photographic postcard production and regional history.

  1. 5/5 stars! When I opened up this package There was not only the one post card I purchased but 2 extra neat ship post cards in between, My guess why Was to keep the one Card i brought safe from any potential damage. but since it was 2 extra ship post cards, that I didn’t have to pay for which was a nice surprise. this seller Definitely went the extra distance on this order! Kudos on this one! Oh and It’s was already laminated which was very appreciated by me! In summary everything was done right!
