A Park Bear, Yellowstone Park

Details

DescriptionPostcard front. Horizontal orientation. Color paper postcard depicting a bear in Yellowstone National Park. The bear is in the center of the image and is facing the camera with all four feet on the ground. Its fur is shades of brown with hints of red. The bear is standing on green grass in a clearing with trees and a distant green and blue ridge on the left and scattered trees on the right behind it. There is tan soil, brown logs, and many colorful cans (orange, yellow, blue) on the ground in front of the bear. The sky is blue with light yellow and peach at the horizon. "A PARK BEAR, YELLOWSTONE PARK." is the title on the bottom border in the bottom left and center. Postcard number "13053." is in the bottom left corner to the left of the title. "HAYNES." is on the bottom border in the bottom right corner. All the text and numbers printed in the borders on the front of the postcard are red.
Postcard back. Horizontal orientation. All text in blue ink. Top center of the postcard: "POST CARD" is in a large font with "54123" in a small font centered above between the two words. There is a short horizontal line below with a connecting long vertical line that divides the postcard into two halves. Postcard caption in the top left corner: "A Park Bear, Yellowstone Park. The brown bear, of the American Black Bear family differs from the black bear in color only. These bears are powerful and timid wild animals and although the desire to touch them is almost irresistible, one should keep a safe distance away from them at all times." "ADDRESS." is on the right side of the postcard centered between the vertical line and the space designated for a stamp in the top right corner. This stamp space is indicated by a rectangle with the words "PLACE ONE CENT STAMP HERE" inside. There are two horizontal dotted lines in the center of the right side, and there is a shorter horizontal dotted line with a solid horizontal line below both justified to the right in the bottom right corner. "HAYNES PICTURE SHOPS, INC., 341 SELBY AVE., ST. PAUL, MINN. AND YELLOWSTONE PARK, WYOMING" is on the left border vertically.
