Just Leaving the Catskills
Given the Cat-skills name it is not surprising that there is a wide array of historical “cat” related postcards and marketing materials for the region. The cats often depicted tourists as they partook in various vacation activities or were dressed to the nines in high fashion. The cats could be found driving cars, flying planes, going hiking or riding in cat-pulled wagons. In this particular vintage postcard, a cat-drawn wagon is being driven by other cats as they pass the train station to leave the Catskills.
The postcard was published by Albert Hahn located at 229 Broadway, New York. The postcard was copyrighted by Albert Hahn in 1907. The postmark on the reverse side shows that it was mailed in 1909.
