Description: This is an interesting postcard that comes with no explanation. It is written above the door of the nearest cabin “Kamp Welikt” and on the reverse someone wrote “Wolfeboro” which is a town in Carroll County New Hampshire, in a resort area situated beside Lake Winnipesaukee. land was granted by the governor to four young men of Portsmouth and named Wolfeboro. In 1763, 2,300 acres were added to the original 60 acres, was settled in 1768 and was incorporated in 1770. The Colonial Governor John Wentworth established an estate on the site, known as Kingswood in 1771 beside what is now called Lake Wentworth. It was the first summer country estate in northern New England. That is certainly not what is on this postcard that has an image of two slightly smaller cabins. There is a woman in front of the left, that evidently photo bombed the image taken by sender. The cabin on the right has a name, "Kamp Welikt" above the doorway. This is a Real Photo that can be dated between 1907 and 1920 by the Velox with 4 diamonds stamp box. The card is a smaller card, 5 1/8 x 3 1/8, and is in excellent condition with no wear and a clean, clear image. The reverse is addressed, has a small message and is clean. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible.
