Postcard Week has been held over by popular demand! It could turn into Postcard Month, or even Postcard Summer. (Just to be clear, by “popular demand,” I mean “the absolutely minimal amount of free time I have right now.”)
This undated postcard, printed for the Hudson River Day Line (one of their vessels can be seen to the left), shows the Albany waterfront. It’s at least post-1915, since the beautiful Marcus Reynolds-designed Delaware and Hudson headquarters is fully in the picture. The tall building along the breakwater is the Albany Yacht Club in somewhat grander times. The Maiden Lane Bridge, which carried trains across to Union Station, is just barely visible on the right edge.
