Souvenir Friday- Gibson Greeting Cards Main Street
Finally found one of the Gibson Cards I am missing. This one features Main Street with the vehicles stopped in front of City Hall.
Wow—I wasn't aware of this series of cards. The presentation is a simple elegance evocative of a time before giant logos overpowered imagery. Of course, this was produced between '55-'60, so the concept of what a Disneyland "is" was still pretty nebulous...
Always a treat to see new shots of those trees in their earliest stages: quite a difference from 2013.
It almost looks like a hand-colored black and white photo (though I am sure that it is a genuine color photo).
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how many different cards are in this set?
