CO Denver Museum of Natural History City Park Vintage Postcard

The Colorado Museum of Natural History finally opened to the public on July 1, 1908. The first director was hired and quickly recruited staff to build more exhibits and create public programs. By 1918, another wing had opened and research efforts were well underway. The city of Denver increased its funding for the museum, leading to a name change to Denver Museum of Natural History in 1948. The name was changed again in 2000 to the present Denver Museum of Nature and Science,

Thomas Dexter Press 1934-1977 West Nyack, NY. 82363 dated 1955: Thomas A. Dexter opened his first printshop in Park Ridge, NJ in 1920. He moved to Pearl River, NY eight years later, and by the 1930’s he was producing postcards, mostly linens but also black & white and hand colored cards covering a wide variety of subjects. Although an early pioneer of natural color images, the firms output seems to have only turned exclusively to photochromes after they moved to West Nyack, NY around 1952 when their old shop grew too small. Most of the photochromes printed by Dexter Press bore the words Genuine Natural Color.
