A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of statues and monuments.

Caption: "Vegetable Tower, New York State Fair, Sept. 1918."

Erected for the 1918 New York State Fair, the "Vegetable Tower" was an elaborate harvest-time monument adorned with pumpkins, ears of corn, and other seasonal vegetables. Similar structures created for other fairs and festivals were also known as "farm products monuments," "fruit columns," or "fruit monuments."

This is a divided-back real photo postcard with an Azo stamp box (two corner triangles pointing up and two pointing down) that dates the card to between 1910 to 1930, which correlates with the year of the fair. The back is otherwise blank with no message, name, address, stamp, or postmark.

For a closer look at the tower, see a cropped version of the card.
