From our old postcard collection here is a card published by the Union Pacific Railroad, number 9 of a series featuring each state served by the railroad. This card features Montana, and, although uncertain, we think it was published in the 1940s. We do not know the name of the artist or the total number of cards in the series.

ReplyDeleteHello greetings and good wishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely colorful post card. very interesting information about Montana.
Since this post card is very old I am sure Montana has changed a lot.
Best wishes
I LIKE that one!! Love those herefords. Nice colors too.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what the original looked like? AFter being smooshed like to, and still look so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteNice looking Hereford cattle.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful looking postcard. I do love the vintage art.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I really love this postcard!!! Thanks so much for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI like the image - but then I like cows. That's probably why. The colors are still very vibrant.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice scene of cowboy life. I see the train at the back :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sad that the Hawks could not hold on to their victory. It looks like it was really gonna happen.
Lovely cowboy picture. For whatever reason, I'm now getting your posts a day late, but I am still enjoying them very much. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this cowboy scene- thanks for sharing and have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright colors mentioned by other commenters as well. Montana is one of the few states west of the Mississippi that I've never had the opportunity to visit. If it's still as awesome as it was advertized to be in the 1940s, maybe I should put it on my list!
ReplyDeleteAh! The cowboy. Looks interesting!
