The product is an original Real Photo Postcard from 1908 featuring Native Americans, Umatilla Indians in Walla Walla, Washington. The image depicts a moment in time in North America, specifically in the United States in the era of the Divided Back (1907-1915).
The Postal Cancellation: The circular ink stamp reads "SPOKANE & LEWISTON R.P.O. / TR10 / AUG 20 / 1908". What is an R.P.O.? This stands for Railway Post Office. During this era, specialized mail railcars traveled along the Northern Pacific Railway route between Spokane, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho. Postal clerks sorted, cancelled, and distributed mail directly aboard the train while it was in transit.
