A Postcard A Day - Brooklyn Bridge

Good Morning! 
I have another lovely postcard to show you. I did not receive this one this week, but as it Independence Day in the USA I thought it would be appropriate to show you an American card.

The photo is entitled: 
"Girl on a Swing, Pitt Street, New York 1938" 
The photographer is Walter Rosenblum (1919-2006). 
Other info reads: 
Gelatin silver print, 16.2 x 20.3 cm. 
The Jewish Museum, New York. 
Gift of the Rosenblum Family.

I love this photo as the swing depicts fun and freedom. I also recognise Brooklyn Bridge in the background and that for me (a European) is typical American.

The stamps are also very interesting:(info from Wikipedia)
