- Description:
- This postcard, distributed by real estate promoter C. B. Bussell, advertised the sale of Seattle tidelands, reclaimed with fill generated by sluicing away the city's hills through a series of regrades. The postcard's design speaks eloquently to the displacement of native people and destruction of their "natural" way of life by industrial progress and urban modernization.
