RPPC Columbia Tuolumne County CA Reservoir View Gold Rush Postcard Town ViewStep back in time to Columbia, California
Take a look at Columbia, Tuolumne County, California, as seen from the reservoir.
This vintage Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) presents a wonderfully atmospheric general view of the town, with the reservoir in the foreground, hillside landscape beyond, and Columbia spread across the valley. The old buildings, towering trees, water, and surrounding California hills give the image a remarkable sense of place.
The front is captioned “GENERAL VIEW, FROM THE RESERVOIR, OF TUOLUMNE, CALIFORNIA.” The postcard has also been used and written on, giving the reverse its own piece of history and character.
A fascinating piece for collectors of California history, Tuolumne County, Columbia, Gold Rush-era towns, historic landscapes, RPPCs, and vintage postcards.
A genuine glimpse of an earlier California—preserved on a postcard.
