State Capitol, Annapolis, MD
Sepia antique postcard from the private collection of Valerie Mockaitis. Published in the early 1900s by The Mayrose Co, Linden, New Jersey.

The 1790 wooden dome appears quite massive from this, the Francis Street side. Few views show the building this well through the trees.

Capitol, Annapolis, Md.
Antique, undivided back postcard published circa 1907 by E. C. Kropp Co. Pub. Milwaukee.

This very early postcard is especially interesting since it appears to have been made from the same photo of the capitol as the state flower/seal/capitol card above.

Annapolis, Md. State Capitol.
Antique postcard published circa 1905 by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in Germany.

Adding to the interest of the card above, this view also is obviously made from the same photograph. Notice the publisher is different.

Maryland State Capitol. Annapolis, Md.
Antique, embossed postcard published circa 1905 by S. Langsdorf & Co. Publishing, New York, N. Y. Made in Germany.

This postcard also uses the same photograph as another, this time the one below. Again, the publishers are different.

The Maryland State Capitol. Annapolis, Md.
Antique postcard published circa 1905 by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in England.

This Tuck Oilette is colorful and contains many added pedestrians and great detail. This is typical of the high-quality views produced by this publisher.

State House.
Engraving from the Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution. Volume II. by Benson J. Lossing. Published 1850.

The hill the capitol sits on in this artist's engraving does not show in other views. There are also outbuildings in some images from the same era that are not shown here.
