Antique Postcard 1905 Pencil Note Lehigh University Campus Bethlehem PA

Social History: This card features an authentic pencil-written note from "Harry" to Mrs. Harvey McCarthy of 31 Willetts Ave, New London, Connecticut. Before ballpoint pens, pencils were the go-to for travelers on the move because it was reliable and didn't smudge or leak in transit.

Scene: Turn-of-the-century "educational landscape" of Lehigh University in South Bethlehem. The image shows the university as a serene "park-like" sanctuary, a deliberate contrast to the heavy industry of the surrounding Lehigh Valley.

Era: Divided Back (1907–1915). Though the image is from 1905, the back layout places it in this slightly later era.

Publisher: G. V. Millar & Co., Scranton, PA (Series #10816).
Type: Traditional Printed Lithograph.
Standard Size: 3.5 x 5.5"
