Description: Description: This antique postcard, published by Franz Huld, New York, features a serene view of Central Park Lake with a gondola peacefully gliding across the water. The card is numbered 179 and is a "Private Mailing Card," authorized by the Act of Congress of May 19, 1898, marking it as an early example of American postcards before the official "Postcard" designation. The back includes a charming illustration of a woman in period attire, adding to its vintage appeal. This piece captures a historic glimpse of Central Park, a timeless NYC landmark, in a period when private mailing cards were becoming popular. Rarity: This postcard is relatively rare due to its early "Private Mailing Card" designation, which predates the standardized postcard format in the U.S. Collectors of early American postcards or Central Park memorabilia will find this item of particular interest.
