The Gateway Arch rises behind the skyline in the upper view, while a stadium occupies the lower half. The design brings together two recognizable parts of the city in one souvenir.
The Gateway Arch was completed in October 1965. The Cardinals opened the downtown Busch Memorial Stadium the following May. The postcard brings together two additions that reshaped how visitors recognized St. Louis.
