Last summer I blogged about the “Portland and Columbia River souvenir playing cards” I was gifted by my Boston friend Jack. Upon the advice of a staff member at the Oregon Historical Society, I scanned the 52 cards, each with a unique image. The cards hold a copyright date of 1909 by the U.S. Playing Card Co. of Cincinnati.
How many of these places do you know? Ready? Here we go!

Thank you SO MUCH for directing me here. These cards are marvelous. I am absolutely envious. I got excited about so many of these! The Portland city buildings (the City Hall and the library especially, since I’ve seen them more often), the logs going past the bridge, the waterfalls, the Washington Park statues, Oneonta scenes, Willamette Falls – oh my gosh. I am purely delighted.
