Harrisburg PA Pennsylvania Blue Mountain Hotel Polar Bear Exhibit Postcard

This vintage postcard features a striking image of a woman posing with a large polar bear exhibit at the Blue Mountain Hotel in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The polar bear, weighing approximately 1200 pounds, was taken by W. M. Hollinger at Point Barrow, Alaska, and is noted as a World's Record Class specimen. The photo was taken by Shuey at Brown's Studio in Harrisburg, PA, and the postcard was published by J. A. Stricker Co., a known publisher located at 1740 N. 5th St., Harrisburg, PA.

The postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches and is printed on paper. The vivid color image captures mid-century styling with a woman in a blue swimsuit standing beside the impressive taxidermy polar bear against a backdrop of patterned red curtains and a wood-paneled room. This postcard is an original and offers collectors a unique glimpse into historical wildlife exhibits and regional Americana from North America. Perfect for collectors of vintage postcards, wildlife memorabilia, or Alaskan hunting history.
