The New Jersey State Capitol. Trenton, N.J.
Antique postcard published circa 1905 by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in England.
A lovely depiction of an elegant capitol facade, it could surprise viewers to learn the building has a dome. The difference between this facade and the one in the view above is due to the restoration in 1885-1889 after the capitol was damaged by fire.

State Capitol, Trenton, N.J.
Antique postcard published circa 1910.
The elevated vantage point used for this image brought the dome into view. It is hidden on very many postcards of this capitol. This is the dome built in the 1885 to 1889 restoration after a fire.

Antique postcard published circa 1915 by Valentine-Souvenir, New York, N.Y.
This is a wonderful image of the whole building facade. It is strange that there are no trees pictured anywhere.

New Jersey State Capitol, Trenton, N.J.
Antique, embossed postcard published circa 1905 by S. Langsdorf & Co. Publishing, New York, N. Y. Made in Germany.
This view was developed from the same photograph and some of the same artwork as the Tuck Oilette near the top of this page. Tuck, however, added a pedestrian in the street with a dog.
