This extensive collection of several hundred mid-century postcards primarily features Roadside America, the famous miniature village in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania. The lot includes a mix of printed linen and chrome era cards, as well as real photo views, many published by the Laurence Gieringer studio. Notable subjects include the Yellow House Hotel, the 1939 New York World's Fair, the Enchanted Forest, and Phoebe Snow advertising ephemera. Locations mentioned on the ephemera include Shartlesville, Hamburg, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, alongside New York City. These cards document the creative history of Laurence Gieringer's 4,000-square-foot model village and mid-century roadside tourism. Standard postcards measure 3.5 x 5.5 inches.
