Sam's Room

Sam's Room
A wallpaper photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

A real photo postcard postmarked Chicago, Dec. 24, 1908, and addressed to Miss Anna Wallace, New Florence, Pennsylvania.

Message written on the back: "A merry Xmas. How do you like your job by this time? Received your postal. Best regards to all, Sam."

Judging by the pennant hanging on the wall (which probably spells out "Law") and what appear to be law book bindings in the bookcase and on the small table, Sam may have been a law school student.

Great, but so tantalizing - because you want to step in for a closer look at all those photo gems!

Thanks very much, everyone! I wish I could zoom in and see the photos more clearly, but enlarging the image didn't reveal many additional details. I was also unsuccessful, unfortunately, in determining the date on what looks like a calendar hanging on the end of the bookcase next to that impressively large radiator.

I agree with the earlier comments. It's such a rich interior anyway (wallpaper, woodwork, radiator, carpet), but the photos really give it personality!
