Postcard from the Boulevard Around Duluth

This postcard of Skyline Parkway, from well before it was called Skyline Parkway, is dated July 12, 1905 — 120 years ago today. It is not clear what part of Skyline is featured in the image.

The message reads:

I’ve spent a glorious day in Duluth. Our trip across the Great Lakes was most delightful. Our boat goes so smoothly we cannot realize we are on the water. No one has been sick and we are doing justice to the most delicious menu. We are sat down too.

The signature looks like “Emma the Long” or “Emma He! Long.” Let’s just say the card was sent by Emma Long.
