About this postcard

Composite illustrated view of St. Louis, captioned "Hotel Statler" and "ST. LOUIS," showing the hotel tower at left, Mississippi riverfront steamboats and bridges, a church spire, and the equestrian Apotheosis of St. Louis before a classical building. The Hotel Statler opened in 1917 as one of downtown St. Louis's grand hotels. The equestrian statue, sculpted by Charles Henry Niehaus, was displayed at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition and stands in Forest Park before the former Palace of Fine Arts, now the Saint Louis Art Museum.
