Summer Greetings
Data
Description
The first eight prints here are the main 'set' - a group of prints expressing standard 'summer greetings', each one labelled with the name of the sponsor, and of the location depicted. All are places where one would go to escape the summer heat.
The lower three are 'extras', and the river scene at lower left appears to have been intended to provide the 'title image', perhaps being pasted on the outer envelope.
