This postcard depicts a historical view of Morningside Park and Cathedral Heights in New York City during what appears to be an early period given the style of buildings and train depicted on tracks crossing a bridge or viaduct. The centerpiece is a large, ornate arch structure with intricate detailing which could suggest it's part of the park or cathedral complex mentioned in the title. In the background are multiple tall structures that look like institutional buildings such as hospitals or universities from its design features, indicative of early 20th-century architecture and urban planning. The foreground shows a train on tracks over an elevated bridge-like structure, with lush greenery around it, suggesting proximity to nature within this city setting. Notably, the title reads "Morningside Park and Cathedral Heights," along with copyright information by Myron Underhill from New York in 1908 as stated at the bottom of the postcard.

The image depicts an illustration of a historical cathedral situated on elevated ground with lush greenery surrounding it and people gathered in front. The main structure is ornate with large windows and arches characteristic of Gothic architecture. In the foreground, there are several figures dressed in early-20th-century attire—women wearing dresses and hats, children also in period clothing—and men likely engaged in conversation or leisure activities. They appear to be enjoying a day out near the cathedral's gardens.

The top portion of the illustration contains text that reads: "THE CATHEDRAL OF ST.JOHN THE DIVINE FROM MORNING SIDE PARK," indicating the location and viewpoint from which this scene is depicted. The artist, Raechal Robinson Elmer, is credited at the bottom right with a note about her connection to art lovers' societies in New York and Holland.

The color palette consists of soft pastels, giving it an impressionistic feel typical of early 20th-century printmaking or watercolor techniques. This image likely serves as either postcard artwork for visitors of St. John the Divine Cathedral or a piece from an artist's portfolio showcasing their work on architectural subjects and leisure activities during that era.

The image depicts a vintage postcard showing an outdoor scene at Morningside Park in New York. It features a person standing on a paved path, dressed in early 20th-century attire, which includes dark trousers and shoes with a long coat or jacket draped over their arm. The park is characterized by gentle slopes leading up to what appears to be a rocky outcrop adorned with sparse vegetation, including some leafless trees against the sky. In the background, there's an open field extending towards another structure on the horizon which might suggest residential buildings in the distance. There are also two dark-colored objects resembling post boxes or signs at the edges of the path and barren bushes flanking the walkway. The overall lighting suggests it is either morning or late afternoon with a soft glow from what could be natural sunlight diffused through clouds, as indicated by the hazy sky above.

The image depicts a vintage postcard with an illustration of an urban scene. At the center of the postcard is a large, ornate archway. In front of this archway are two prominent structures: on the left, a church with a bell tower and steeple, and on the right, a building that appears to be a train station with a canopy over what seems to be a tram stop or loading platform.

The postcard features text that reads "Morris Park and Cathedral Heights." Below this title is an image of a city street with trolley tracks visible. There are also illustrations of trees lining the street, and several cars can be seen parked on both sides. The scene is framed by a series of buildings, suggesting an urban setting.

The postcard has a classic design, typical of souvenirs from earlier eras, with a white border around the edge of the image. There are no visible people or animals in the illustration, which focuses on architectural and transportation elements.

The image displays a postcard-style illustration of a religious building, possibly a church or abbey. It features a prominent facade with an archway, under which the name "RICHARD ANDREW CLAYTON" is inscribed. Above the name, there's a depiction of a cross, suggesting a Christian context. The architectural style of the building appears to be Gothic or Romanesque, characterized by pointed arches and ribbed vaulting.

The surrounding landscape includes greenery with trees and shrubbery, indicating a well-maintained garden or grounds. There are people depicted in the foreground, which seems to be a common area for visitors to explore the site, as suggested by their casual attire and the presence of benches where individuals can sit and enjoy the view.

The postcard is bordered by a thin line that separates it from its background. The image has a vintage quality, with a soft color palette that gives it an aged look, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the setting. There are no visible texts other than the inscription on the church facade and the name at the top of the postcard.

The image shows a vintage postcard depicting a scene of a road winding through a park-like setting. On the right side of the postcard, there is an illustration of a person in mid-stride walking away from the viewer along the path. The background features a grassy area with small trees or shrubs, and the sky above is overcast. At the top left corner of the postcard, the name "MERRITON" is written, suggesting it may be the location depicted in the image.

The style of the illustration is reminiscent of mid-20th century postcards, with a flat perspective and clear outlines that give the image an almost cartoon-like quality. The colors used are muted, with greens and grays dominating the palette, contributing to the vintage aesthetic of the artwork.

Rise and shine.

Photo of a 25-foot-long sculpture of a reclining Statue of Liberty installed in Morningside Park. The artwork as a mashup of the Statue of Liberty and the giant reclining Buddha statues found in Asia. Viewers were allowed to touch, climb and sit atop of the statue, which was coated with plaster resin and finished with copper paint and oxidizing acid, mimicking the look of the real-life Lady Liberty.
