Vintage Postcard View, NE Corner Pylon, Michigan Avenue Bridge c. 1928
"The Discoverers," by James Earle Fraser. From the Verso: "Joliet, Father Marquette, LaSalle and Tonti will live in American History as fearless explorers who made their way through the Great Lakes and across this water shed to the Mississippi in the late seventeenth century and typify the spirit of Brave Adventure which has always been firmly planted in the character of the middle West." Uh huh.

Max Rigot white border divided back postcard, published in advance of the Chicago World's Fair of 1933; postmarked March 10, 1933.
