Curt-Teich postcard image from 1949. Colorful scenes from Canandaigua’s past are framed within the borders of the “Canandaigua” letters. The linen look of Curt-Teich cards gives this image added depth and texture.
This bird’s eye view of Main St. Canandaigua shows the heart of the city with farmland and Canandaigua Lake in the distance. This image comes from an antique postcard dated 1911. The postcard original message reads,
"Dear Ada How are you getting along. Have not heard from you in a long time. We went to Geneva yesterday in the auto. It was a nice ride. The baby is beginning to creep and is as fat as ever. It has been awful hot and dry here this summer. Will close. Gertrude Powell."
Here is a scenic view from a postcard with a postmark date of 1912. It shows a man resting along a dirt road. The road leads toward the lake in the distance. Its soft blue water is framed by trees and shoreline.
