Description

The Old Capitol building is depicted at the end of the street with various swags of the United States flag draped between and at the top of the two story columns across the front of the building. The buildings on either side of the street have lines strung across the street with U. S. flags hanging from them. People in horse drawn wagons and carriages are on the street, people are also walking and riding bicycles on the street and the tracks for the street car are visible. Trees are depicted at the end of the street, partially obscuring the view of the Old Capitol building. "Exposition" is printed over the steps of the old capitol building. The title of the card is printed along the upper left of the card. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Fannie Tennison in Summit, Mississippi. The card is postmarked Jackson, Miss., October 26, 1912 and is stamped on top of the green, one cent George Washington postage stamp. "Enjoyed doing the fair to-day. RRB" is inscribed on the left half of the card.
