Rendered in warm brick reds and colonial whites, this illustrated linen-era postcard depicts Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia — one of America's most historically charged small buildings, where the First Continental Congress assembled on September 5, 1774, setting the colonies on the path to revolution. The card's back text, printed by the Sabold-Herb Co. of Philadelphia, recounts how the hall sits "hemmed in by high modern buildings and almost lost to sight of the passers-by, but never to be forgotten for the part it played in the history of America during Revolutionary days." The postage indicia calls for one cent domestic and two cents foreign, placing this card firmly in the pre-linen White Border era of American postcard publishing, likely between 1915 and 1930. Catalog number R-43424. The card is unposted and unused, with only minor age toning consistent with its century of age — a wonderful piece of American historical ephemera.
