Seattle, Washington. 1909. Souvenir handkerchief with circular Exposition logo at center, set within an image of the globe. Beneath the globe is the United States seal with the words "Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition 1909" below. To the left of the seal is a person in a canoe with a polar bear on a glacier nearby, both looking in the distance towards Exposition, which is radiating with light. To the right of the seal is the image of two Exposition buildings with a seated Native American smoking a pipe facing them. In the background of the design is a depiction of the city of Seattle and Mount Rainer. The AlaskaÐYukonÐPacific Exposition was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. It was originally planned for 1907, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, but the organizers found out about the Jamestown Exposition being held that year, and rescheduled. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington. XF condition with minor staining. (No printed listed but possibly the BEP)
