Card of the Day -- 1911 Helmar Historic Homes

Here's the latest addition to my wondrous binder of tobacco cards.  I've been coveting these 1911 T69's for a long time.  This is my first but hopefully not last.

This looks to be the source material for the card.  The unknown artist changed the time of year from what looks like spring to winter and added the old lady passing by.

Here's a first edition of Hawthorne's novel.  It was sold by Bauman Rare Books.  If you watch Pawn Stars you're familiar with them.
