This vintage postcard features a scenic view of the Galveston Sea Wall located in Galveston, Texas. Showcasing the early 20th century coastal defense structure, the image captures the sea wall curving gracefully with the shoreline, protecting the town from storm surges. The postcard is from the Divided Back era (1907-1915), a period when postcards first allowed messages and addresses on the same side, making it a collectible piece of postal history.Printed using a halftone lithographic technique common for postcards of this era, the card provides a richly detailed, hand-tinted depiction of Galveston's waterfront and residential area adjacent to the protective sea wall. The reverse side includes a 1-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring George Washington and a postmark dated March 13, with handwritten messaging addressed to Paul Wank in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. This original postcard, measuring the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches, is a valuable item for collectors interested in historic city views, Texas landmarks, and early 20th century American postcards.
