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.


HOLD TO LIGHT - Palmer House, Monroe & State Street, Chicago #2409L
Joseph Koehler, New York.
note: Hold to Light: when held up to a strong light, the moon, the windows,
and vehicles light up brilliantly, as in the above image which is backlit.

World's Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893 - Transportation Building
Girsch & Roeksler
, New York - Joe Koehler, Sole Agent, New York.
