Carson City, Nev.

Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in England.

There isn't another building in sight. Tuck's capitol views usually include pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles, but there aren't any of those visible through the trees on this card.

State Capitol - Carson City, Nevada 1871
Photograph taken in 1871, located in the Nevada State Museum, online by the Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.

This historical photograph shows the red cupola dome that was painted silver in 1876. In black-and-white, the dome just looks dark but is noticeably darker than in later images.

Nevada State Capitol
Carson City, Nev.

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

An aerial view like this one gives a much better view of the capitol building than street-level views, as in the postcards below.

 
 

 
 
 

"Sunflower" Nevada State Flower
State Capitol, Carson City, Nev.

Antique postcard published circa 1910 by Williamson-Haffner Co., Denver.

The verse reads:

Golden Sunshine on thy plains,
In thy mountains, golden veins,
Truly hath the sunflower told,
That thou art as good as gold.

Capitol at Carson City, Nev.
Antique postcard published circa 1910 by Illustrated Post Card.

Little of the capitol building can be seen through the trees on the grounds. This is also true today, with the best view of the structure being from directly in front of the street-side entrance.

 
 

 
 
 

Capitol at Carson City, Nev.
Antique, embossed postcard published circa 1910.

This view was very likely published by Illustrated Post Card. Notice the similarity with the card above. The gold tones give the image a completely different mood.
