Opening piece

Front

Postcard front: a photograph of a waterfall and railway bridge in a green gorge with “Letchworth State Park” and “New York” in a condensed face

Letchworth State Park — postcard

A two-sided postcard: a photographic front with a condensed park wordmark, and a reverse that treats the address rules and stamp box as part of the layout rather than an afterthought.
