Description

1911 Gov. Woodrow Wilson Stone Harbor NJ Bridge RPPC Postcard. This remarkable real photo postcard captures a significant historical moment: Governor Woodrow Wilson observing the lowering of the steel rolling lift drawbridge into place at Stone Harbor, New Jersey. Dated July 3, 1911, the image features Governor Wilson as the central figure, alongside President H.S. Risley and Vice-President R.P. Risley of Stone Harbor. The scene is bustling with a large crowd gathered on the pier, witnessing this important infrastructure development, with an American flag subtly visible in the foreground. The detailed photographic quality characteristic of a Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) vividly preserves this event, offering a unique glimpse into early 20th-century American history and the public life of a future U.S. President. The postcard's reverse features the distinctive "Affo" or "A. F. Co." publisher's logo, a divided back, and handwritten details including an address to Torresdale, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This piece is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of presidential history, New Jerseyiana, bridge construction, and vintage real photo postcards.
