Vintage chrome postcards connected to the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont, both published by Bromley & Company of Boston and produced in color by Mike Roberts Color of Berkeley, California. One card features the Trapp Family Lodge rock garden in spring, with lush plantings and the lodge’s rustic alpine architecture. The second card presents a scenic view of Stowe Village and Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, issued under the Trapp Family Lodge name and guest‑house branding. Together, they reflect the region’s natural beauty and the lodge’s long association with Vermont tourism.

Originally sold through lodge gift shops and tourist stops as a way to share a visit to one of New England’s most iconic resort destinations, these postcards are now sought after by travel and resort collectors, New England history enthusiasts, Mike Roberts chrome-era collectors and—through the Trapp family’s connection to The Sound of Music—Broadway memorabilia collectors. Sold individually.

Historical Note

The von Trapp family settled in Stowe, Vermont in the early 1940s after touring the United States as the Trapp Family Singers. Their story later inspired the Broadway musical and film The Sound of Music, and the mountain views of their Vermont farm reminded them of their Austrian homeland. In 1950, they began welcoming guests to a rustic family lodge. After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1980, the family rebuilt, creating the Trapp Family Lodge that stands today. The property remains owned and operated by the von Trapp family.

Just a quick heads‑up: the photos reveal details far better than text alone, so they’re worth a close review.

Postcard Eras & Collecting Guide

  • Real Photo Postcards (c. 1890–1945)

    Early printed lithographs and Real Photo Postcards (RPPC) offer rich historical detail, documenting towns, events, family portraits, and everyday life. Disaster postcards depicting floods, fires, train wrecks, and other catastrophic events, were a popular way to share news as photographs could quickly be turned into postcards. Many RPPCs are scarce and unique due to their small‑batch production.

  • Pre-Linen Litho & Linen Postcards (c. 1907–1950)

    Pre‑Linen Litho cards (c. 1907–1929) were printed using smooth chromolithography and tinted halftone methods, producing soft, painterly views before the textured linen era. Linen postcards (c. 1930s–1950s) introduced high–rag‑content paper with a woven surface and bold saturated colors that reflected the optimism postwar travel culture. Together, these eras showcase the shift from early color printing.

  • Chrome Postcards (c.1939–)

    Chrome postcards, introduced in 1939, feature glossy surfaces, vivid color, and photographic imagery made possible by modern color film processes. The term “chrome” derives from Kodachrome, Eastman Kodak’s groundbreaking color film. Mid‑century examples depicting motels, highways, city skylines, national parks, and tourist destinations are collected for their documentation of postwar American travel and roadside culture.
