The postcard's reverse confirms its origin as a Kodak Photo Post Card, a hallmark of quality for real photographic prints of the era. A handwritten notation on an affixed label specifies the event's date as August 28th, 1924, and its location as Beatrice, Nebraska, adding valuable context and historical precision. This piece offers a unique glimpse into the public life of General Pershing, making it a significant collectible for enthusiasts of military history, Nebraskaiana, and early 20th-century photography.
