The reverse of this card carries the printed label for Independence Hall in Philadelphia, so the object itself is a piece of ephemera as much as a view of the building. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted in 1776, was a standard subject for photographers and card publishers from the late nineteenth century onward, when the old State House became a national shrine. Cards like this one were sold to visitors as souvenirs and mailed across the country, so the printed back, with its caption and publisher's details, often tells you as much about the trade as the front does. Researchers looking at such cards usually compare the label style with known publishers to estimate a date.
