artiFACT Chicago, Illinois Postcard

Chicago, Illinois

Estimated value: $3.50-$7.00

This postcard was produced during the Great Depression's later years, when Chicago was struggling economically but still projecting civic pride through its architectural landmarks. The Chicago Temple Building, completed in 1924, represented the city's ambitions as a major American metropolis during an era when illuminated nighttime views of skyscrapers were novel and popular subjects for tourist postcards.
