0018 - Dinosaur Delights!

Looks like one of the tourist attractions there to me? According to the Postcard, there's a Dinosaur Delights gift shop located inside the Apatosaurus behind a restaurant called the Wheel Inn.

Anyhoo, cute postcard!

0016 - Valley Falls

Valley Falls is one of the state parks in West Virginia. Many people kayak there. According to the sender, the entire town went bankrupt in the 1890's, so you can't tell if anything was ever there!

0009 - Chevalier Féréol de Bonnemaison

This is a French painting, but I'm labeling this under "USA" as it's displayed at The Brooklyn Museum. It's called "Young Woman Overtaken by a Storm" .

"Taking shelter underneath a sturdy oak, an elegantly, if scantily clad young woman—perhaps separated from her party of nature-seekers—tearfully cowers as powerful winds whip at her gauzy attire. In this picture, exhibited at the Salon of 1799, Bonnemaison pays homage to the era's prevailing, classically inspired tastes: the young woman wears the high-waisted, muslin robe à l'antique and delicate cothurnes, or sandals, that became all the rage for fashionable French women in the 1790s. At the same time, the threatening storm—evidence of nature's force—hints at a nascent Romanticism and its embrace of the sublime." - http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/
