A later Edward H. Mitchell card showing the impressive Canadian pavilion at the Pan-Pac Expo in 1915. Unused.

There were a lot of Panama-Pacific Expo cards for sale at the Market today. I liked this one for its association with the Methodist Church and the Abingdon Press, and also for its design and colouring. Unused.

This Post-Card is "Compliments of N.Y. Sunday American & Journal", William Randolph Hearst's New York paper. The lower 1/2 inch or so has been trimmed off. In case you're wondering, that's early 1900s comics star "Foxy Grandpa", as I discovered. The cartoonist was Carl E. Schultze or "Bunny" ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxy_Grandpa

As this upload of rather random and ragtag cards shows, I've been to the St. Lawrence Market. A decent find was three pre-1900 Edward H. Mitchell (San Francisco) "Gruss Aus"-style cards. This is no. 9 in the 1899 series. At the bottom of the collage are the words Copyright 1896 by Albert Kayser.

Edward H. Mitchell card, no. 30 showing scenes from Santa Rosa, California. Unused, with the 1899 date.

1898 Edward H. Mitchell card depicting "Missions of California". There is a notation "Taber Photos" along the lower edge of the collage.
