Vintage Stadium Bowl Living Flag Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "Tacoma High School and Stadium, 4000 School Children forming a Flag."

This print shows thousands of school children forming a giant American flag on the stadium field, below the castle-like high school. It's reproduced from an original antique postcard in our own collection, scanned at 1200 dpi and carefully restored: we removed dust, specks, and the printing dot pattern and brightened the faded inks, while keeping the original color and printed caption.

A LITTLE HISTORY
The Stadium Bowl opened in the summer of 1910, built into a gulch beside Tacoma High School (today's Stadium High), with Commencement Bay at its open end. Early on it held more than 20,000 people. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding all spoke there, and the city used it for big public pageants like the one on this card, where 4,000 schoolchildren stand together to form a living flag. More than a century later, the bowl is still the school's home field.

THE SET
The same postcard is also on a mug, an ornament, a puzzle, a coaster, a tea towel, a poster and a canvas.

Details:
- Restored reproduction of an antique early 1900s Tacoma postcard
- The postcard is shown on a cream border, like a mounted print
- Museum-quality matte paper behind a protective acrylic cover
- Kiln-dried pine frame in black, walnut, or white
- Hanging hardware is built into the back of the frame, so it arrives ready to hang
- Restored by us, printed and framed by our production partner
- Ships to US addresses only

Please note: this is a new print, not the original postcard. Small marks of age are part of the original card's character. Colors may vary slightly between screens and printed products. Sizes and frame colors are shown in the listing options.

Gift idea: A great gift for Tacoma history buffs, old-house owners, and anyone who loves the City of Destiny, or a piece of home for a Tacoman who moved away.
