World's Columbian Exposition Calling Card, Administration Hall

World's Columbian Exposition Calling Card, Administration Hall
"Administration Hall. From your friend."

A Victorian-era hidden-name calling card with an illustration of the Administration Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The illustration is a separate piece that lifts up to reveal the name (in this case, "Harry Owens") printed underneath.
