No collection would be complete without a map greetings card. This is a large chrome. On the back is written, "Long Island - Vacation Paradise: Henry Hudson, English captain of the Dutch ship, 'Half Moon,' made history when he landed on Long Island in 1609. The first deeds for Long Island land were bought from the Indians in 1636. Today its scenic roads, winding lanes, picturesque harbors, and beautiful beaches, make Long Island truly a 'Vacation Paradise.'"
