(3) Three Color Chrome Postcards touting the best Maine has to offer - the Maine woods and the Maine coast. All published by Eastern Illustrating Co. Divided back, unused. Condition: All in mint condition. Comments: Maine is both the northernmost and easternmost portion of New England. It is known for its scenery -its jagged, mostly rocky coastline, its low, rolling mountains, its heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways-as well as for its seafood cuisine, especially lobsters and clams. Maine is the least densely populated U.S. state east of the Mississippi River. It is called the Pine Tree State; nearly 90% of its land is forested. Maine has 3,500 miles of tidal coastline. Along the famous rock-bound coast of Maine are lighthouses, beaches, fishing villages, and thousands of offshore islands, including the Isles of Shoals, which straddle the New Hampshire border. There are jagged rocks and cliffs and many bays and inlets. Inland are a myriad of lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains. All of this has led to the state's official highway welcome sign which reads, "Maine, the Way Life Should Be."
