Embossed - City Hall, Chicago, ILL
unknown manufacturer
note:
A late 19th century example
of quality embossing. The detail
is astounding.
You can see very
small details like the bricks in
the building.
It is hand painted
with two colors highlighting the
embossing even more.

Embossed - Lincoln Park Academy
of Sciences, Chicago, ILL
unknown manufacturer - pm
1909
note:
The back is printed
up-side-down, unusual for a
postcard. It even fooled the
postal sorter who placed it
right side up for a postage
stamp cancel, hence it being
upside down. The postage stamp
had to be manually cancelled
with ink.
