This is a divided-back color lithograph postcard mailed on July 25, 1911 from Tarpon Springs, Florida. The card was manufactured by Hugh C. Leighton Co. of Portland, Maine, and printed in Germany — a common arrangement before World War I when German chromolithography was considered the finest in the world. The writer appears to be a tourist or seasonal visitor to Tarpon Springs, sending birthday greetings to a friend or relative named Alleen (and possibly Bertha). The tone is casual and chatty, typical of Edwardian-era postcard correspondence. The card depicts the scenic Upper Anclote River, a popular recreational area near Tarpon Springs.
