An aerial rooftop panorama of early-twentieth-century St. Louis captures a remarkable cluster of Gilded Age and Progressive Era skyscrapers jostling for the skyline — Gothic revival gables in terracotta red, arched Romanesque facades, and colonnaded upper floors all pressed together in downtown's commercial core, a scene that would be dramatically altered by urban renewal decades later. Published by the "Famous Superior Quality" S series and postmarked St. Louis on November 21, 1915, this undivided-era-transitional card carries a brief but tender message from "Mamma" to her daughter Irene at 1127 Carson Street, Fort Worth, Texas — "Love to all… have had no time to write." The stamp block and machine cancel are crisp, and penciled notations (42¢, 44, 10) suggest this card passed through a later dealer's hands.
