Hand-colored, this postcard tints a view of the Teton Range that early twentieth-century travelers would have known from the Jackson Hole valley. Before color printing became cheap, studios painted over black-and-white photographs with dyes or watercolor, and cards like this one carried scenic views of the Rockies across the country by mail. The Tetons rise steeply from the valley floor with few foothills, a profile that drew visitors long before Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929. Look closely at the peaks and sky, where the added color was meant to make the mountains seem as striking as they did in person.
