| Title | Postcard promotion, "Tide Lands, " Seattle, 1902 |
| Photographer | Richard Nicol |
| Date | 1902 |
| Notes | This postcard, distributed by real estate promoter C. B. Bussell, advertised the sale of Seattle tidelands, reclaimed with fill generated by sluicing away the city's hills through a series of regrades. The postcard's design speaks eloquently to the displacement of native people and destruction of their "natural" way of life by industrial progress and urban modernization. |
