In 1908, Freeport, Illinois was a thriving industrial and agricultural center in the heart of the Midwest, known for its foundries, machine shops, and as a regional railroad hub. The Easter greeting postcard reflected the genteel Victorian tradition of sending illustrated holiday wishes, a widespread social custom enabled by the affordable 1-cent postage rate and efficient postal system.
