Capture a piece of history with this hand-colored postcard featuring the C. & N.W. Railroad Train Station Depot in Missouri Valley, Iowa. A charming glimpse into the past, this lithograph print from A.M. Simon brings to life the vibrant community life and transportation hub of early 20th-century Iowa. The divided back design, common to the era, allows for a stark contrast between the vivid imagery of the front and the neat handwriting of the message on the back.
