About This Design
Library - A literary classic 1905 Postcard
Colourized photo from 1900
Original Title: Riggs Library
Location: Georgetown University, Washington DC
This is Riggs Library, built in 1877, and served as a library from 1891 to 1970. This library still exists today and is one of the few libraries made of cast iron to survive.
The building was built to replace another library where they ran out of space. However this library too also ran out of space and another library had to be built to accommodate all the extra books. Today this building still functions as a book storage facility, but not really as a library. It's more of a convention centre now.
It looks pretty much the same as it did a 100 years ago, only it has updated lighting.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
