MARKBREIT FUNERAL
Leopold Markbreit was Mayor of Cincinnati from 1908-1909. Markbreit Avenue is named after him. These two cards show his funeral procession being held in 1909. The view is looking north up Race Street. The procession is going south towards downtown Cincinnati passing over the Canal Bridge.
POLITICAL CARTOONS
When the first larger than normal postcard was made (1931) it would seem the Cincinnati Board of Health was not having much success in obtaining the money it needed from the city government. This looks like it may have been made for the editorial page of one of the city's newspapers. The second image was drawn ca. 1905 and shows the Honorable Harry L. Gordon who, among other things was a Vice Mayor of Cincinnati and the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio 1902-04. The third drawing shows the Honorable J. B. Foraker who was the Ohio Governor from 1886 to 1890 and a U. S. Senator from 1897 to 1909.
