                <text>Notes:

A bridge crossing at this location on the Merrimac River made Hooksett a vital community in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.  (This image was probably shot from the bridge.)  Today the interstate bypasses the town.  My sense is that the tower atop the Pinnacle is long gone and the Pinnacle itself is overgrown…

On the other hand, Robie’s Store (where this card was probably bought) is still there and the home you see in the center of the card –with attached barn and cupalo – is also.  The address is 456 W. River Road.


You can see Emma’s “x” on the tower.

“I think this is about as high as I will ever be.”  

This statement was almost certainly prophetic. 


I recently saw a coffee table book devoted to the grand hotels of the New England coast.  There was a smaller group of hotels, like The Uncanoonuc, perched on top of some of New England’s most precipitous ridges.  The idea that you would have this view to enjoy from the comforts of your hotel produced more than one painting during the 19th century.  (See Thomas Cole’s “The Oxbow,” painted at the Summit House on Mt, Holyoke, Northampton, Mass.)  

The Uncanoonuc Incline Rwy Co. (by whose permission the post cards were manufactured) operated an electric railroad that took patrons up to the hotel.

Dear Mother,
I have been over this bridge ten times today at least.  Will see you before long.

                <text>Notes:


This card is the first of a pair sent by Olney on the same day.  The coloring is really something…

On the manufacturer of this card…  In the few cases where this information hasn’t been provided clearly there would be other ways it may be possible to identify the maker of the card.  Here the font used for “Post Card,” or even the image numbering, could help to narrow down the choices.  It’s a coincidence, but look at the card Jennie received the day before this – July 26, 1910.  That card was sent by her sister, Emma, who was in Manchester, NH, yet there’s little doubt that both cards were manufactured by the same company:  the font is the same; both cards share the same unequal division of space for the personal message and the address; both image numbers are five digits and appear in the same location on the face of the card, etc.
