Description: Scarce early original vintage Real Photo Post Card (RPPC) shows a view of Rhineland Wisconsin with a locomotive of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore, & Western Railway in the foreground. Rhinelander is a city in and the county seat of Oneida County, Wisconsin. The city was named Rhinelander after Frederic W. Rhinelander of New York, who was president of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway at the time. This was part of a bid by the Brown brothers to induce the railroad to extend a spur to the location to further their lumbering business. Ultimately, after over ten years of negotiations, the Brown family agreed to convey half their land holdings in the area to the railroad in exchange for a rail line to their future city. In 1882, the railroad line from present-day Monico to Rhinelander was completed, jump-starting the development of Rhinelander as the commercial hub of the region. Real Photo Post Card measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases. Back is clean with no writing and no postmark.
