Muir Glacier Alaska AK c1907 Mitchell Postcard S2
Vintage postcard of Muir Glacier, Alaska, circa 1907, published by Edward H. Mitchell of San Francisco — one of the leading postcard publishers of the Edwardian era. Muir Glacier, located in Glacier Bay, Alaska, was a major tourist attraction in the early 1900s and is named after naturalist John Muir, who visited and wrote extensively about it. The glacier has retreated dramatically since this card was printed, making early photographic views like this one historically significant.
