This original vintage postcard features a striking lithograph image titled "Interior view of The old Virginia shoe shop," showcasing Alfred Leigh, a former slave, seated in a rustic workshop setting. The postcard highlights a historical scene from the Jamestown Exposition, displaying the Craddock-Terry Co.'s exhibit, known for manufacturing the celebrated Longwear Shoes in Lynchburg, Virginia. The detailed black and white lithograph captures the authentic atmosphere of a 19th-century shoe shop, complete with tools, a spinning wheel, and leather hides hanging on the walls.Measuring approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches, this postcard is a printed lithograph from the early 20th century, reflecting both the cultural and industrial heritage of the American South. The card is an evocative piece of Americana, valuable for collectors interested in historical imagery, industrial exhibitions, or African American heritage. The reverse side features a classic postcard layout with space for a 1-cent stamp, enhancing its vintage appeal as a genuine artifact from the era.
