Title	Souvenir of Hannibal, Mo. : Mark Twain's boyhood home.
Description	Souvenir postcard folder from Hannibal, Missouri. Many of the postcards relate to Mark Twain and his characters. There are three pictures of Twain's home, one featuring Twain himself standing in front of the house. Other images include the "Mark Twain Cave" and monuments to Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer as well as to Mark Twain. There is also a postcard titled "Home of Huckleberry Finn" [sic] which is not reproduced here due to copyright concerns. Other postcards relate to more general aspects of Hannibal as a town: Indian Mound Park swimming pool, Union Depot, the court house, the high school, the YMCA building, city hall, the post office, St. Elizabeth Hospital, and scenes of the river front on the Mississippi and Riverview Park. An image of "Lovers' Leap" includes a person sitting on the "leap's" edge; the ledge overlooks a trainyard. The river front postcard depicts a large boat with its gangplank down, apparently loading and/or unloading. Published by E.C. Kropp Co. Postmarked 1927 on front.
