Description: This antique postcard, mailed in 1907, features a charming scene of a "WADING POOL, BRANCH BROOK PARK, NEWARK, N. J." The image shows a group of people, including children, enjoying the wading pool, with a few individuals standing on the grassy edge in the foreground. Trees and buildings are visible in the background. The reverse side includes a partial postmark from ALTON, [IL or IA] dated DEC 31 1907 and a clear one-cent Benjamin Franklin US postage stamp. The postcard is addressed to "Miss Annie Stoner, Lincoln Hotel, Kane, Pa." The handwritten message reads: "Annie do you miss me very much I do you and all the rest. Will be home Sat. but I am getting stouter." This postcard offers a delightful glimpse into recreational activities in early 20th-century Newark and is a wonderful piece for collectors of New Jersey history, park scenes, or vintage Americana. The card number "NO. 1048" is visible vertically on the left edge.
