Description

This 1940 calendar features a large hand-colored photograph of the old Sangamon County Court House in Springfield, Illinois. The photograph is pasted to a light blue sheet of heavy stock. A slightly smaller textured black window mat is pasted to the backing sheet so that the photograph shows in the window framed with a gold-colored, decorative, rectangular border. The company name and information are printed in gold-colored ink in the viewer's upper left corner. A small rope tie has been looped through two holes in the center top margin with the ends tied into a bow. A small 12-page, monthly calendar with a matching black cover is stapled in the center of the bottom margin. A small information sheet on the Court House is pasted on the reverse and folded over the top edge to show on the obverse in the upper right corner.
