Jamestown Exposition post
card, postmarked PATERSON, N.J., JUL 28, 1907 and bearing a fine #328, 1¢
Jamestown Exposition stamp paying a "Printed Matter" rate (no message) to
Germany, with color
image titled "BIRD'S-EYE VIEW, JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION, 1907." Perhaps
the most interesting feature of the illustration is a view of the fleet of
international ships at the bottom. The
second International Naval Review was a part of the exposition's opening
festivities, welcoming fleets of international ships for President Theodore
Roosevelt's review. One
can see among the ships elements of the U.S. Navy's "White Fleet". Scarce card (back
image). |
