Description An account of the resource Notes: If you look carefully here you will see an early example of the thirst for Photoshop. The image has been (badly) hacked from the original horizon. That weird looking structure to the left of the large building is a windmill. Because the foreground hasn’t been colorized it’s a startlingly real (if dreary) picture of the train stop just over the Connecticut state line.

Title A name given to the resource June 21, 1912 A Subject The topic of the resource Main Street, Pawtucket, R.I. Description An account of the resource Notes: Compare this scene with “Bird’s Eye View Pawtucket, R.I.,” sent June 5, 1912. On the face of the card Emma added labels for several buildings – "S & Robinson" and the "Music Hall" – as well as ‘High Street.” It is not absolutely clear who “Lizzie” is, but the weight of the evidence seems to point to Sarah Elizabeth Cotton, daughter of Ben A. Cotton. “Minnie” will write several postcards in care of Jennie, directed to her mother-in-law, Mrs. A.S. Rounds, aka "Lizzie."
