This large piece of art is located on a landing on one of the stairwells in the Minnesota History Center in downtown St. Paul where we went to see a special exhibit about the Depression and WWII as it affected Minnesotan. I have seen the exact same image you see in the photo on postcards, which, incidentally are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Guess I'll have to start going to antique shops again. Next week I'll show you some photos I took while going through the outstanding "The Greatest Generation" Exhibit at the History Center Stay tuned!!To see more vintage postcards, click here.

How wonderful to see this postcard in large and in charge poster form! And it's in the history center no less! That's a perfect and very prominent spot. I WILL be staying tuned! Happy PFF! I saw that your post was already up so I put your link in the Mr Linky:)
Nice but I like the jam and jelly. That would be something I could taste.
Great card, how fun to see this in the history center. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if it was designed to be used eventually as a postcard, or did the postcard come as an afterthought. Superb!
I love this old-timey sign. Can't wait to see the exhibit next week!
Great card. I recognize several of the attractions.
wonder if you can get the mn. & mi. postcards poster size?
that is a great idea for an exhibit. Happy PFF! And thanks for sharing :)
Love these old posters and postcards!!! The WWII era had some really cool art!!!
Do start haunting the antique shops for these old wonderful pieces of art. You would see work like that ever again.
I love this large mural of one. Good stuff.

Wow this is so cool !
Happy PFF to you.
Thanks for sharing this today.
It is getting hard to find state postcards here in the area of Texas I live in.
I guess it's like that every where.
Have a fabulous weekend.

That's a nice photo and I love the strawberries too.
It does look just like a postcard! Great image!
I love that style of postcard (I have one of my own state), but how fantastic it would be to see it on a large scale!
Hi again, Kate! If you'd like me to send you the letter box postcard, just email me your postal address at daily {dot} postcard {at} gmail {dot} com, and it's yours! :)
How VERY wonderful!
I'm sorry I am coming by so late for Postcard Friendship Friday. My parents were involved in a roll-over accident on the freeway last Monday. Miraculously both of my dear parents survived and are recovering, leaving little time for blogging. I had a few minutes just now, though, so here I am.
Happy PFF!
A marvelous shot! They made postcards like this for all the states but, it's true, you're lucky to find any today! :)
