Scenic Milwaukee

I haven’t been to scenic Milwaukee, but these postcards from ‘Along the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Old Line’ make me feel as if I have. I found a packet of 10 Pictorial Postcards (of which seven remained: the three that were sent must have been breathtaking) in a second-hand bookstore today.
In the old days, postcards like these served as in-flight entertainment. Today they stir a wistful longing to be more easily amused.
