This vintage linen postcard depicts the entrance to Old Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, a historically significant site as the location of the first attempted English settlement in the New World from 1585-1587. The scene shows a detailed color illustration of the fort's restored log entrance gate flanked by white stone pillars, surrounded by tall pine trees and a few visitors walking along the path. Printed by Hooper Bros. of Elizabeth City, NC, and produced by Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C.T. Art-Colortone" printing, this postcard captures the nostalgic charm of mid-20th century American postcard art and printing techniques. The back of the postcard includes a brief historical note explaining the site's importance as the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America, and the restoration of Fort Raleigh as it appeared in 1587. This single postcard is a collectible piece for history enthusiasts and postcard collectors interested in early American colonial history and vintage linen postcards. Its standard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches makes it ideal for display or adding to a curated set of historical postcards.
