Steamer Broken A Bridge Postcard

Steamer broken bridge . Which is country? Where is this place.Any addition information welcome.Thanks

Someone already remarked you are abusing this stamp forum to let others figure out what your postcards that have had zero postal use and no relation with stamps depict.

This picture has some very clear indications.

If you enter 'yuma' 'ship' and 'bridge' in the Google search box, you will find your answer.
Your post suggests you did very little to find out anything about your picture.

That one is a little too easy the event is a famous event

But even with that easy fact it is divided back so post 1907 white boarder so US printed my concern is this might be a reprint or fake (made for collectors) and not a real post card from the time.

Someone already remarked that everyone is welcome here to ask questions.
Some members choose to answer, others can choose not to.
Not all of us are good at finding info on google or other sites.
It is more in the spirit of the forum to rather answer questions, or ignore them, than put the one asking in shame.

Check OP's other posts and you will notice the pattern.

Asking questions is one thing. Letting others do all the work for you is another.
The only way you cannot Google this is by searching for something that does not include "yuma" and "bridge."

Thanks, NSK.

If one collects postcards, it makes sense to seek answers from other collectors.
Search abilities are not the same for everyone, and talking to other collectors serves two important goals: To get a human response rather than a search engine algorithm, and interact with other collectors worldwide. At best, someone might say "Hey, I got this exact postcard, and here's what I know about it".
For some of us, these questions were a sort of "how's your eye", and I believe it was enjoyable to tackle the question of identifying the theme of the picture.
If one's questions or posts are found lacking, in most cases they will eventually be ignored and the thread will die out.

I myself brought mainly questions, and was rarely able to contribute. There was one time that a bedrock found my response worthy to keep - I printed that post, framed it, and hung it on my wall. ;)

Any other view point on if this is a fake postcard? I would love for the owner to look at the paper.

I never heard of fake postcards (but then again, there's plenty in philately that I don't know).
How widespread is forging postcards? Is there money in it? The last postcards posted didn't look worthy of a forger.

Fake postcards is huge and a big problem. Just like stamps there are collectors of postcards, Clubs and conventions. Plus the prices are more. a stamp may sell for pennies a FDC for $1 but many post cards $10 up. Some are just going for the if it is old it is valuable BS. Many are made not to fool postcard collectors but the antique store browser.

There is such a huge market some are printed and identified as reprints just like we will buy a hole filler for a stamp but these are identified as such.

Here same postcard on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/3640756186...9SR_zWms-fYQ

49.95 starting bid.

As compared to this postcard of the same event https://www.ebay.com/itm/334257395740

or this one for the same https://www.ebay.com/itm/144840197710

archisell, archiguy. Hmmm?!

The link provided by jdtrue66 shows the exact same card and described.

It is a set of much latter reprints this listing is by a real postcard dealer selling the full set for $18 down from $20 that people were not buying at. They were most likely printed much latter sold as a set in the town for an anniversary.

Another just antique dealer who over paid selling for $84 but they sell all kinds of antiques https://www.ebay.com/itm/165287621323

The real 1908's are priced right and the real postcard dealer at $20 is not crazy many of the others are just hoping to get a new collector.

Anyone want to discus the warning signs with this postcard and the time frame?

I had no idea about the postcard market.
Anyhow, the question at hand, which interests me more than making money from postcards, is learning as much as possible from the picture. I really like the way members searched for clues in the pictures to piece together the story of each picture.

Oh yea the translation of the German on the one card was so cool to get the occupation and the location. This is all the stuff that postcard collectors do. Count stars on flags then look for any other clue for the image and flip the card and check the division or lack of. The stamp box the edge printing or white boarder. A 2 digit or zip number the stamp value. All to get a date and see if everything matches.

In person it goes down to paper and printing method.
