This is a photo of the entrance to the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exhibition taken at night. Electric light bulbs were just coming into wide use at this time, and the 1909 World's Fair was an opportunity to show them off.

Scuff marks on the dark photo are visible everywhere. Postcards, after all, were meant to be mailed, and they were often put into photo albums afterward.
