Geography: Seattle

This trade card advertises E. Lobe & Co.'s Golden Gate Bazaar, located under the Odd Fellows Hall in Seattle, Washington. The front of the card (Image 1) features a depiction of sailboats, suggesting a maritime theme or perhaps indicating the proximity of the business to the waterfront. The style of the illustration points towards a late 19th-century aesthetic. The back of the card (Image 2) is blank. The card's overall design is simple yet effective in conveying the business's name and location.
