This vintage souvenir postcard features a colorful depiction of a historic scene titled "Reading the Declaration of Independence Before the Continental Army." The artwork illustrates soldiers in period uniforms, some on horseback, gathered in a green area with flags and tents in the background. This scene is a reproduction of a decoration found in the Amsterdam Smoking Room of the iconic New Amsterdam Theatre, located on West 42nd Street, New York City. Managed by Klaw & Erlanger, the theatre was renowned as "The House Beautiful" during its prime.Printed on a standard 5.5 x 3.5-inch card, this undivided back postcard dates from the early 1900s, specifically between 1901 and 1907, making it a collectible piece from the golden age of postcards. The card is produced in the United States and retains its original imagery and text on the front, with postal instructions on the back indicating postage rates for the U.S., Cuba, Canada, and Mexico. This postcard is a great find for collectors interested in theatrical history, American Revolutionary War scenes, or early 20th-century ephemera.
