Any one see a circa 1900 Display item like this one before?

I posted this on the memoribilia side but figured I would give it a post here too.
I picked this up yesterday at an estate auction, and just am not exactly sure what it is. It reminds me of the Christy turn of the century postcards, but this one is a lot larger than a postcard. It measures 10 inches by 7 inches, and is on a slightly thicker stock paper than a postcard would be. It pictures some University of Pennsylvania fans, a football shaped photo of a Penn game in progress, and a small photo of College Hall on Penn's Campus. Anyone see one of these before - whether a Penn one or a different school

Nice item Keith...I have never seen one. One can only imagine what its function (if any) was. From your description it sounds more like a cabinet card. The UPenn uniforms are cool, just like the Bednarik phot on the '48 and '49 Leaf issues.

Those were the days... no one complained about fur coats, nobody wore tons of pads, and nobody took steroids. Splendid card!
