Description:
The Hugh C. Leighton Company was a major publisher of view-cards, particularly New England views. They printed in four distinct styles most often employing tinted halftones. "Picture postcards helped spread information about [Maine's] beauty and points of interest, and it was a Portland man who first brought such postcards to the United States."
