Happy Fourth of July!
I have a Revolutionary post come up later this afternoon. In the meantime, I wanted to share this vintage postcard of Philadelphia's historic Independence Hall (constructed from 1732–1753) and links to some past patriotic-themed coverage on Papergreat.
This very American postcard was, ironically, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons of England and printed in Germany. Oh well.
