Postcard: Illuminated Niagara Falls #1

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments

Illuminated Niagara Falls #1

Card is titled:  “A:-American Falls from Below by Illumination.  Niagara Falls.”

Printed on back of postcard:

NIAGARA FALLS BY ILLUMINATION

Visitors now find Niagara more beautiful than ever.  New radiance has been cast over it.  It is a radiance that can be turned on or off at the switch of a button.  As turned on each night it consists of a battery of a billion candle power which are so concealed in the foliage that they in no way nar the scenery, yet they work for hours each night flooding and lighting both the vision of the Falls and the mists above.  Think what has been done to accomplish this.  Power was taken from the Falls themselves and turned back upon these Falls in the form of light so that Niagara is forced to beautify itself.

Card is not written on, nor does it have a printing date.  The back is divided.  The postage space indicates that the mailing rate is one cent for domestic destinations, placing the card in the range between 1907 and 1952 (when the postal rate rose to two cents).
