Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:15472822 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
The title on the cover pretty much sums it up nicely:
Album of Views at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition San Francisco 1915
On the back cover is this:
Official Souvenir Post Card Album--------------Cardinell-Vincent Co, San Francisco, CA, Official Photographers and Publishers
The book measures 6 inches by 3 1/2 inches x 3/8 inches thick.
While the back of the book has the name Cardinell-Vincent, the postcards themselves say they were published by the... Bardell Art Printing Co. of San Francisco.
The book cover has some small folds along the edges, plainly visible in the photos, but overall seems to be in good shape. The colors on the pic on the front cover are still bright and vibrant.
The fronts of the postcards themselves are not 'regular' paper. They have a fabric-y feel to them and we included an up close pic of the texture of the surface of one of them.
A few of the cards have small imperfections, which are noticeable in the photo's of each card. The things that stand out the most are the "End of the Trail" Statue card and the Illumination card, which has some sort of dark arc streak on it. No idea what it is but when looking at it with regular light it doesn't look nearly that bad.
Some of OUR photos of the cards aren't the greatest, some are even different sizes. This is due to being overly careful with the book and not wanting to damage the book by forcing it open too far. All the pictures were taken with the perforations on the left side. We made the extra effort of numbering the photos in conjunction with the below list.
Each card has its own preprinted number and there seems to be no order to them. For instance, the first two cards are No. 20A and No. 11A.
These are the names of the cards in order. Each name is followed with "the Panama Pacific International Exposition San Francisco 1915" so instead of having that twenty four times, that phrase was replaced with ...South Gardens, from the Festival Hall at...Palace of Education at...Birdseye View at...Palace of Fine Arts at...Festival Hall at...Reflection in the Lagoon, Court of Four Seasons at...Arch and Fountain of the Setting Sun at...Lagoon and Fountain in South Gardens at...Arch of the Rising Sun - Court of the Universe at...Illumination of...Fountain of Ceres - Court of the Four Seasons at...Statue "The End of the Trail" at...Palace of Horticulture at...Palm Avenue at...Dome of Fine Arts Palace, Illuminated, at...Tower of Jewels at...Illumination, Tower of Jewels at...Column of Progress at...Statue "The End of the Trail" and Tower of Jewels at...Mullgardt's Tower - Court of Abundance at...Colonnades - Palace of Fine Arts at...The Liberty Bell at...Italian Towers - Illuminated - at...Tower of Jewels and Fountain of Energy at...
If there's a flaw, or flaws, with the book we're doing our best to explain it and show it. While a flaw (or flaws) may not be mentioned in the text description, it (they) will surely be visible in the photos. Make sure to see all the photos that ebay shows at the top of the auction.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions or to request better pics of something in particular.
Shipping will be USPS First Class with insurance. It will be in a zip bag in the package as an extra precaution from the elements.
