3) 19th Century Hotel Washington, Pisa, Italy Folding Card.  An 
interesting English/French folding card for the Hotel Washington in 
Pisa, Italy, featuring a pen and ink drawing of the unhappiest George 
Washington you’re ever likely to see. The hotel was quite the place 
though, they had a restaurant, a “large garden”, moderate charges, and 
“electric light and heating in every room”. The card unfolds to reveal a 
street map of downtown Pisa. Folding card. 5.25”x3.5”. Some soil and 
wear. $25

interesting promotional card for the Pyjama-Playground at Cannes,
