Seattle WA Washington Totem Pole Pioneer Square Linen Postcard Unused

This vintage postcard features a colorful depiction of the Totem Pole at Pioneer Square in Seattle, Washington. The totem pole, carved from a single cedar tree by a tribe from Tongass Island, Southeastern Alaska, stands sixty feet tall and eight feet in circumference. It was originally intended as a monument to a distinguished family and was relocated to Seattle in August 1899 by local businessmen. The card showcases early 20th-century urban architecture surrounding the totem pole, with bright, vibrant colors typical of linen postcards from the era.

Printed by C.T. Art-Colortone and manufactured by the C.P. Johnston Company of Seattle, this postcard captures a significant cultural artifact in an iconic city setting. The back of the card includes a detailed description of the totem pole's history, adding educational and collectible value. This postcard is an excellent piece for collectors interested in Native American art, Seattle history, or vintage linen postcards, reflecting both artistic and historical importance.
