(5 1/2 x 3 1/2 In) This is an original vintage Harry N. Martin, C. T. Art-Colortone linen postcard from the 1940s. It shows a pair of Black Bears stopping cars for "Inspection" in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, North Carolina.

"Two of the Black Bears, as are to be found in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, are shown here inspecting a car passing along Newfound Gap Highway. Bears may be found wandering along the highway or climbing trees, and give added pleasure to the visitor viewing the scenic beauty of the mountains.", reads the description printed on the back.

The postcard is unused and is in VERY GOOD condition, wear at the edges, blunted corner tips, minor discoloration on the back.
