A hand-tinted mechanical marvel unfolds from this 1905 Rotograph souvenir card of Independence Hall — pull the brass-fastened tab and a cascade of ten diminishing color views of Philadelphia tumbles out like a paper accordion, revealing scenes of Chestnut Street's Post Office, the Betsy Ross House ("Birthplace of Old Glory"), Market Street, and more, all in the vivid hand-applied color characteristic of the Golden Age of postcards. The cover image, catalog no. L.C.L. 295a, frames Independence Hall's iconic Georgian brick tower through a canopy of bare spring elms, the clockface just visible above the arched entrance. A handwritten message tucked inside — addressed to a sister — reads in part: "We are doing fine, hope this finds Mammy improving as when we left. The weather still so bad. You said what you wanted for Christmas so I will have to get it. I think best well we are. I find the people here are keen on our work well. I will write next week from home — 20123 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia PA." The card was mailed to Miss Sidney, RFD, Ohio, and bears a one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp with a Philadelphia cancel. Patent no. 806631, dated December 6, 1905, is printed on the front — a rare early patent for this pull-out novelty format. Condition is fair-good: the pull-out strip has separated partially along the fold and the cover shows creasing and a tear along the fastener slit, but all interior images are intact and vivid.
