Description: $1 flat for the first 4 cards, plus $0.33 for each additional postcard, unless specified otherwise. This unique divided-view postcard, copyrighted by Claude Lord, showcases a comparative view of Atlanta, Georgia. The upper half depicts "Greater Atlanta, 1909" with its expanding industrial skyline, complete with smokestacks, factories, and early skyscrapers. In contrast, the lower half presents "Atlanta in War Times, 1864" during the American Civil War, with plumes of smoke rising over the city as it faces devastation. The vivid imagery provides a striking historical comparison between the city's war-torn past and its industrial resurgence. The reverse side features a message sent in 1910 and is postmarked Atlanta, Georgia, November 24, 1910. It bears a 1-cent green U.S. postage stamp with a Benjamin Franklin portrait, which may interest collectors of early 20th-century postal history. Condition: The postcard shows light corner wear and minor edge wear. There are some slight surface scratches. Please see photos for more details.
