Here are two more images from the continuing the series of antique Memphis postcards. The top image does not claim to be any specific place in Memphis, just a field of cotton in bloom. The theme of Memphis as the major cotton trading market appears on a few of the postcards. Please bear in mind that these cards were probably printed in the early to mid 1930's, and reflected the economic and social status quo of the time. The scene in the bottom image is easily recognizable, as several of the more prominent buildings remain.
