Postcard #5 in the unclassified series.
This series of vintage postcards are ones that I was unable to categorize easily. Now that I look carefully at this postcard, I see that it could have gone into the Berkeley, CA section of my collection box.
The photo on the postcard is an image of the poet, Joaquin Miller, a well know California poet. Born in 1836 and died in 1913, Joaquin Miller was his pen name. He was born, Cincinnatus Heine. His poem on the reverse of this postcard touts Berkeley as a magnificent intellectual mecca and revels in the Westward expansion of the U.S. This is a real booster item published by the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce.
