| Souvenir playing card out of a full deck from the Pan-American Exposition. The Seven of Spades displays a drawing of "The Airship."

In the air is a fanciful airship. In the background is a castle with flags of many nations. On the reverse is the official logo for the Pan-American Exposition in full color, with an ornate border. |
