Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Unmailed photochrom postcard. Headline reads "CHICAGO" Upper picture reads in red "LAKE MICHIGAN - A PEACEFUL MOONLIGHT NIGHT" Lower picture reads "A STORMY MORNING"

Back reads, "Printed in Germany. Published by Koeling & Klapperbach, Chicago. No. 587" The back is not divided. The stamp box reads "Place Stamp Here - Domestic One cent - Foreign Two cents"

The romantic beauty of the clouds and waves, and the rustic appearance of the word "Chicago" are puzzling. At the time Chicago was a major industrial city, the setting for Upton Sinclair's contemporary novel, The Jungle.
