A Tichnor Brothers tourist postcard promoting the beaches of Kennebunkport.

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938 as part of their Maine series. These, and other postcards, by the Tichnor Brothers Company are officially known as the Tichnor Gloss Series because the photographs were notoriously retouched on such a level that does not allow the postcards to be classified as photographs or paintings. The caption reads, "Bath house and bathing beach, Kennebunkport, Maine."
