Pack Souvenir Spades Uspcc Woolworth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 1900s souvenir playing card featuring the iconic Woolworth Building in New York City. This 4 of Spades card, from a vintage pack produced by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC), showcases the architectural grandeur of one of New York's earliest skyscrapers. Located at 233 Broadway, the Woolworth Building, completed in 1913, was the tallest building in the world at the time, standing at 792 feet. Designed by architect Cass Gilbert, the building's distinctive design showcases Romanesque-Revival and Gothic Revival architectural styles, with its intricate terracotta detailing and ornate copper cladding. This playing card, produced over a decade before the building's completion, offers a unique glimpse into the past, as it captures the imagination and ambition of the city's early 20th-century skyline. The card's vibrant red and black color palette, along with the intricate detailing of the Woolworth Building's facade, make it a true collector's item for those with a passion for American history and architectural design. As you hold this card in your hand, imagine the bustling streets of New York City in the early 1900s, with horse-drawn carriages and street vendors lining the cobblestone streets. This playing card is not just a piece of cardboard, but a window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of New York City and the United States as a whole.
