EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the timeless beauty of Seattle's iconic Smith Tower and Elliott Bay, transporting us back to the early 20th century. Taken around 1915, this stunning image showcases the architectural marvel that is the Smith Tower, standing tall against a backdrop of breathtaking natural wonders. On one side of Puget Sound lies the majestic Olympic Mountains, their snow-capped peaks reaching towards the heavens. The tranquil waters of Elliott Bay reflect the tower's grandeur and add a touch of serenity to this bustling urban scene. The lithographic print perfectly encapsulates the charm and allure of Seattle during this era. Pioneer Square can be seen in its full glory, with its historic buildings adding character to an already picturesque cityscape. This postcard serves as a window into a bygone era when Seattle was still emerging as a vibrant metropolis on America's northwest coast. Printed by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, it exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Preserved in Lake County Museum today, this piece offers us a glimpse into both history and artistry. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Seattle's rich architectural heritage but also its harmonious coexistence with nature—a testament to why it remains such an alluring destination on North America's Pacific Coast.
