Albany NY New York State Capitol 1916 White Border Postcard Used

This vintage postcard features a beautifully handcolored image of the New York State Capitol building in Albany, showcasing its distinctive ornate architecture with steep red roofs and grand staircases. The postcard captures the building from a slightly elevated angle, highlighting the intricate stonework and the surrounding greenery. Printed on a standard 5.5 x 3.5 inch linen cardstock, this piece reflects early 20th-century postcard production techniques popular in the United States.

Postmarked in Albany, NY on October 28, 1916, the postcard was published by Chas. W. Hughes of Mechanicville, NY, a known regional publisher of the era. The green 1-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring George Washington was used for mailing, adding to its historical appeal. This postcard is a valuable collectible for those interested in American architecture, New York state history, or vintage linen postcards from the early 1900s.
