Vintage RPPC The Narrows National Highway Cumberland Maryland Bridge Postcard

Welcome to the rugged beauty of The Narrows outside Cumberland Maryland. This sepia toned Real Photo Postcard gives you a fantastic view of the National Highway stone arch bridge crossing the river right alongside the railroad tracks. Before we go any further please note that the giant David Bowie text splashed across these images is just a digital watermark for display purposes and is definitely not printed on the actual physical postcard. The card itself is in solid unposted condition with typical minor corner bumping edge wear and slight age toning on the back. It is a great clean piece of early highway infrastructure history.

As an authentic vintage piece, this item may show typical signs of age, which can include minor edge wear, soft or bumped corners, slight yellowing, and light surface blemishes. Please carefully examine all provided high resolution photos for the most accurate and definitive representation of the item\'s condition prior to purchasing. Trivia Corner

Cumberland was essentially the starting point for the historic National Road which was the first major improved highway in the United States built entirely by the federal government. The Narrows provided a crucial natural break in the Allegheny Mountains allowing early settlers and stagecoaches to push westward toward the Ohio River Valley.
