About this piece
Antique printed postcard titled "Interior of Pittsburg Exposition, Pittsburg, Pa." in red lettering, showing the long main aisle of the exposition hall under its steel truss roof, with potted palms, domed exhibit booths, balconies and flags. Divided back with green "Post Card" heading, marked "Made in Germany" with number 248 29 printed along the left edge. Standard size, about 5.5 x 3.5 inches.

Postmarked Pitts. Pa. C.R.M.S. Union, Sep 27, 1908, 1 AM, with a green 1 cent Franklin stamp. The pencil message, dated Pitts Sept 2?, reads in part "how are you getting along sleeping at Grandmas while I write this" and is signed Mamma. Addressed to Mary Esther Burton, 203 Wilson St., Salem, Ohio.
A nice early interior view of the annual Pittsburgh exposition hall, with a sweet family message from mother to daughter.
