GM830 Anonymous Real Photos
No borders; Azo back with distinctive markings on the back, apparently made by the same printer. These postcards are clearly a set.
Many views are unusual ones. The quality of the photographs is very good, though all are somewhat dark, skies appear cloudy. The unusual view above shows the Exposition’s east gate and Isthmus buildings which were removed at the end of the Exposition.
