The tall lettering holds multiple views, including buildings that anchor the greeting in Baton Rouge. The strong outlines keep the city name readable against the overlapping scenes.
Baton Rouge’s current State Capitol opened in 1932. The new tower changed the city skyline and offered postcard publishers a distinctive way to identify Louisiana’s capital.
