The Wyoming State Capitol. Cheyenne, Wyom.
Antique postcard from the private collection of Valerie Mockaitis.
Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons circa 1905. Printed in England.
The Tuck Oilette postcards often include colorful settings,
like the sunset-bright sky behind this capitol. They also usually have added carriages and pedestrians. This one has a bicycle, too.

State Capitol, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Antique postcard published by Illustrated Post Card circa 1905.
These views from about 1905 show the original building before the House and Senate chamber additions. The roof line was altered when the low gables were moved to the new sections. The pairs of columns below the gables can be seen in the newer images.

State Capitol, Cheyenne, Wyoming
Antique postcard published circa 1905.
This card probably was by the same publisher as the one above, Illustrated Post Card. The view is the same except for the gold-tone embossing highlighting much of the capitol and covering the right border.

State Capitol Building, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Antique postcard published circa 1905.
At first glance, it looks like this card was made from the same photo as those above, just without the possibly added trees. But it wasn't. The dome drum meets the roof differently in this view. Now look at the State Flower card below. There the angle matches this one.

Fringed Gentian, Wyoming State Flower
State Capitol. Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Antique postcard published circa 1910.
The verse reads: |
|
Wyoming's skies are blue,
Wyoming's hearts are true.
And as a symbol of these two,
Her emblem flower is gentian blue.

Cheyenne, Wyo. The State Capitol
Antique postcard published circa 1905.
This very early, black-and-white view is from the left side of the main entrance. After so many views from the right side, this seems odd.
