  • M.T. Sheahan Publisher, Boston, Mass.
  • 1907
American Horse Breeder Publishing Co. postcard with hand written local inscription Number 5903. According to Jeff Beaumont, the car in the illustration is a 1906 Rambler. "In Mt. Desert, Tremont and Southwest Harbor nearly all the voters have signed the petitions while in the town of Eden [Bar Harbor] more than half of the voters have signed and a number of names are being added to the list each day. As is well known, practically every summer visitor to the island favors the absolute prohibition of automobiles on the island. The island of Mt. Desert is a dead end, so to speak, and an automobile could cover the whole island in a few hours, making no incentive for a prolonged stay. Yet a great deal of damage could be accomplished in a few hours in such a place as this where practically the entire summer population passes a large portion of each day in driving. The horses are not city broke and the numerous accidents that have already occurred here through the use of autos furnish a good specimen of what would happen were their use more common." - The Bar Harbor Record, December 30, 1908, quoted in the Bar Harbor Times, “Times Past” column by Deborah Dyer, January 1, 2009 See SWHPL 7484 for a photograph of Simeon "Sim" Holden Mayo breaking the rules and driving his automobile in Bar Harbor in 1908.

The front of the postcard is titled Harbor View, Southwest Harbor and shows a view of Deacon's Cove at low tide. Black's Ledge is in the foreground and Deacon's Cove is left of center. The photograph was taken from the western point of Clark or Deacon's Cove, Southwest Harbor, Maine. The ledge is an extension of the point. "Clark's" or "Deacon's Cove" which refers to Deacon Henry Higgins Clark (1811-1897), a patriarch of Southwest Harbor. The postcard was written by Annie Matilda (Crozier) Rand - Mrs. Edward Lothrop Rand, staying at the Seaside Inn at Seal Harbor to one year old Hollis Theodore Greenleaf in North Edgecomb, Maine. Annie has just left her brother-in-law Henry L. Rand's house, "Fox Dens," in Southwest Harbor. The back of the postcard reads: "Dear Hollis, This is a picture of the harbor where I stayed for a week before coming here. But you cannot see where "Fox Dens" is. That is what the place is called where I stayed before coming here. The land is covered with trees and right in among the rocks near the shore is built a bungalow. You would love to lie in your carriage on the piazza & look over the water. But you live in a very beautiful place. My kind rembrances to your mother & all. Love from A.M. Rand" The back of the postcard was originally SWHPL 8482, but has been combined with this item.
