Description: Extremely Rare 36" Panoramic Postcard of Butte, Montana - Printed in Germany This extraordinary 36" panoramic postcard offers a sweeping view of historic Butte, Montana. Capturing the essence of this booming mining town, the postcard highlights key locations such as the West Steward Mine, Columbia Gardens, Richest Hill in the World, and the Butte Reduction Works. The postcard lists additional significant sights, including the Butte Water Company, Walkerville, and Slate School of Mines, making this piece an important relic of early 20th-century American industrial history. What makes this item even more exceptional is its "Printed in Germany" marking. Germany, known for its superior printing techniques, was a leader in postcard production before World War I, and this particular postcard exemplifies their high standards in lithography and color quality. The fact that this panoramic postcard was printed in Germany adds historical significance and scarcity to this already rare item. This postcard is in good vintage condition, though it has some expected signs of wear, particularly from being stored rolled, as seen in the photos. The print quality and details of the panoramic view remain stunning and clear, showing the grandeur of Butte at its peak. This is a rare collector’s piece that is perfect for those interested in early American industrial history, mining, or rare panoramic postcards. Given its size and exceptional details, it would be a great addition to any collection or framed for display.
