**Item Description:**
For sale is a fascinating, authentic vintage Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) from the Divided Back Era (circa 1907–1915). The photograph captures a wonderful slice of early 20th-century history at Allen Pond in Maine.
The image depicts a large crowd of people in Edwardian-era clothing posing along the lower deck of a historic pin-connected Pratt through-truss bridge. The bridge sits on a beautiful, hand-cut stone masonry abutment over the water.
The left margin features crisp, period-correct cursive handwriting that identifies the location and a key name: "Allen Pond, Maine" and "Jane Wright." Jane Wright was likely a member of the gathering or the original owner of this photographic keepsake.
The back of the card features a classic undivided/divided style layout from the Golden Age of Postcards. It is unposted, allowing you to clearly see the clean reverse side. This is an excellent addition for collectors of Maine town history, genealogy enthusiasts tracking the Wright family, or industrial architecture buffs specializing in historic American truss bridges.
