This charming vintage postcard from the 1930-1945 linen era features a sunny beach scene with a young woman in a blue swimsuit seated on the sand near dunes and ocean waves. Produced by the Asheville Post Card Co. of Asheville, North Carolina, this card exemplifies the classic linen postcard style with its vibrant colors and textured paper stock. The front of the card is designed as a "Busy Person's Correspondence Card," allowing senders to easily check off phrases to communicate their status, feelings, and messages in a playful and efficient way. The postcard measures the standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches and is printed on paper typical of original linen cards of the era. Its unique format and witty text layout make it a collectible item for postcard enthusiasts, especially those interested in 1930s-40s Americana and novelty correspondence.
