Flowers and Trees of Sub-Tropical Florida is a vibrant example of a souvenir folder from around the 1940s. The souvenir folder is full of colorful postcards with perforated edges so the user can send the inside cards individually if they so desired. The cards provide examples of flora native to Florida such as the oleander tree and poinsettias. In total there are 9 postcards encased within the folder with prints on both sides. This souvenir folder is from around the 1940s and was distributed by Hartman Litho Sales Company.
This souvenir folder documents a time when Americans were beginning to spend more time traveling and taking vacation time. Therefore, the need arose for postcards and souvenir folders to document their trips and send to their loved ones.
