This vintage linen postcard captures the exciting finish of the Mando-Aquatennial Canoe Derby held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The image vividly depicts multiple colorful canoes and paddlers competing on a vibrant blue river, with lush green trees lining the shore in the background. The postcard is printed using the classic linen texture popular in mid-20th century postcards, giving it a distinctive tactile surface and rich color saturation. The back features detailed printed text describing the event, highlighting its status as one of the nation's greatest summer festivals and a demanding 450-mile canoe race from Bemidji to Minneapolis along the Mississippi River. This original postcard was published by St. Maries Gopher News Co., Minneapolis, and printed by Curt Teich Chicago, a well-known producer of high-quality linen postcards. The card is postmarked 1953 and includes a 1-cent George Washington stamp, adding to its nostalgic appeal for collectors of regional Americana and sports-themed memorabilia.
