Paul Resika Hand-Painted Signed Postcard 1947 With Peridot Gallery Letter

Provincetown, Massachusetts, a storied coastal town known for its artistic community and historical whaling industry, served as the origin for this postcard, postmarked September 10, 1947. During the mid-20th century, the town was flourishing as a cultural haven and popular summer resort destination on Cape Cod. The 1-cent George Washington definitive stamp used on the card reflects the standard domestic postcard rate of the era, a common feature of post-World War II American mail.
