This original early 20th-century postcard features a charming, color-tinted image of Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. The postcard showcases the grand Beaux-Arts architectural style of the station, with its imposing stone façade, large arched windows, and classical details. A vibrant flower bed in the foreground and early model automobiles contribute to the historical ambiance of the scene. The card is a White Border type, dating from the era 1915 to 1930, a popular period for collectors appreciating both the printing technique and historical significance.
Printed by Fred Harvey, a well-known publisher associated with American railroad history and hospitality, this postcard is a fine example of a Commercialchrome production, noted for its distinctive color and quality.
