This is a genuine antique postcard from 1904, featuring a vibrant scene from a salmon cannery in Puget Sound, Washington. The image depicts a large pile of salmon and workers, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century American industrial fishing. The reverse side bears a clear Seattle, Washington postmark dated August 10, 1904, and a one-cent US postage stamp. It is addressed to Miss Annie Clement in Oakland, California. A wonderful piece of history for collectors of postcards, Washington state memorabilia, or fishing industry ephemera. The card exhibits charming signs of age, including slight corner wear and natural paper discoloration consistent with its vintage.
