Metropolitan Center Seattle Washington

Metropolitan Center Seattle Washington arrives in a downtown rising from regraded hills — terra-cotta facades catching afternoon light, streetcars threading between department stores and brick hotels, and crowds in wool coats moving past plate-glass windows along Second Avenue. A boomtown of commerce and ambition cataloged in linen and real-photo postcards from the early decades of the century. About the Source Bella Frye curates American postcards from the great postcard golden age (1900s-1930s) — greetings cards, large-letter cards, real-photo postcards, and linen-finish scenic plates from publishers like Curt Teich, Detroit Publishing, and the smaller regional houses that documented every Main Street, courthouse square, and natural wonder in America. The aged paper tone and original lithographic color are preserved in the print.
