Few pieces of 1905 mail tie so directly to the Pacific Northwest as this cover, which was issued for the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, that year. The fair marked a century since the Corps of Discovery under Meriwether Lewis and William Clark reached the Pacific coast, and it drew crowds with its exhibition halls, its displays of Oregon's timber and farm economy, and its own commemorative postage. Covers like this one were sent by visitors and collectors who wanted a keepsake of the event, and they remain prized for their fair-related markings and artwork.
