Year = 1899

As this upload of rather random and ragtag cards shows, I've been to the St. Lawrence Market. A decent find was three pre-1900 Edward H. Mitchell (San Francisco) "Gruss Aus"-style cards. This is no. 9 in the 1899 series. At the bottom of the collage are the words Copyright 1896 by Albert Kayser.

Edward H. Mitchell card, no. 30 showing scenes from Santa Rosa, California. Unused, with the 1899 date.
