Memphis Postcards 9

The top card in this installment from my series of antique Memphis postcards is one of my favorites because I see that view almost every day, although rarely in moonlight.  Confederate Park still looks very much the same, as does the Post Office, although it now serves as the University of Memphis School of Law.  I can see the same bridge still carrying traffic over the Mississippi River as I type, but Mud Island, the spit of land just off shore in the center right of the card, sure had a lot more trees than it does now.  As for the bottom card, this is not really a scene from Memphis proper, but from the rural area surrounding the City at the time.  Once again, bear in mind that these cards reflect the social and economic status of their time.
