Description
A black and white picture postcard printed by American Art Post Card Co. of Boston, Mass. It specifies that it should mail for one cent ("Place one cent stamp here"), which indicates a print date between 1919 and 1952. The photograph depicts many canoes on the Penobscot River, with land and two buildings with tall smokestacks in the background. At least two people are operating each canoe, and in the foreground one rower is standing up to face the camera. A caption printed on the photo calls this scene "Indian Island, Penobscot River, Old Town, Maine."
