Park Scene, Woodstock, Ill.
Title
Park Scene, Woodstock, Ill.
Description
Similar in style to several other postcards in the collection, the trees in the Square park dominate the scene. The Spring House seems miniscule, and the buildings on Benton Street are visible. The upper floors of the buildings have matching light colored brick, while many of the stores have red-striped awnings. People are sitting on nearly every bench while a child is playing on the grass near the foreground.
This colorized post card can be dated between 1907 (the back of the postcard is divided to make room for a message as well as the address) and 1910 (the postmark).
The back lists no publisher. It is marked "Made in Germany" and production number is 190676. However, it is the exact photo used in the City Park, Woodstock, Ill. Panorama, so it has been pirated from the E. C. Kropp company of Milwaukee.
