Minneapolis postcards, printed and mailed
Minneapolis is a river city that reads as a lake city, and the designs go with the river — specifically the one stretch of it that built the place.

What the Minneapolis designs show
The Stone Arch Bridge in navy engraving, its arches stepping across the Mississippi above the falls, with the mill district and a water tower on the far bank, pines in the left corner and three orange maple leaves falling through the sky.
Those leaves put the card in October, which is the correct month for this city and a nice piece of restraint — one colour, used once, to date the whole front.
When people send one
Autumn, for the reason the leaves are on the card, and midwinter, when a postcard from a city at minus twenty is its own kind of boast.
There is also a strong habit here of sending cards to people who have left. A great many people move away from this city and stay sentimental about it, and a drawing of the river in October is aimed squarely at them.
Or use your own Minneapolis photo
A lake in summer, a skyway in January, the falls from the other side. The bridge is on the front already, so your photo can be the ordinary thing you actually liked.
