Vintage Divided Back postcard featuring the Chicago Coliseum at night, illuminated during what appears to be a large gathering or parade. The scene shows a massive crowd of people, individuals on horseback, and early automobiles/carriages in the street. The sender's message identifies the building as where 'The Republican Convention' was held 'this Spring,' likely referring to the 1908 Republican National Convention held in Chicago. The card captures the vibrant atmosphere of a significant historical event. Published by WELL. Ideal for collectors of Chicago history, political history, and early 20th-century events.

For postcards priced over $20 (Buy It Now): I ship these first-class in a sturdy cardboard mailer, with the postcard protected in a hard plastic top loader.

For postcards under $20 and auction wins: These are shipped using eBay’s standard envelope service (delivered by USPS), packed in a semi-rigid mailer. If you prefer upgraded protection with first-class shipping, please message me before completing your payment.

Important note about eBay standard envelope shipping: This option doesn’t get scanned like regular packages, so tracking can sometimes be inaccurate. It may show as “delivered” once it reaches your local post office—even if it hasn't arrived at your door yet. Please be patient, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re concerned about delivery.

*To keep shipping costs reasonable for customers outside of the U.S., international orders do not include tracking*
