Description:

This collectible card commemorates the 100th Boston Marathon held on April 15, 1996, celebrating the marathon’s years from 1897 to 1996. The card features an artistic illustration of the Boston skyline viewed across a body of water with several white sailboats scattered across its surface. Trees and greenery sit along the shoreline, with tall buildings rising behind, including the distinctive Prudential Tower prominently featured. The sky above is clear and blue.

At the top center, the text reads “the 100th BOSTON MARATHON April 15, 1996 1897–1996” with a silhouette of a runner positioned between “Boston” and “Marathon.” The bottom left corner shows the Boston Athletic Association’s emblem in blue and gold. In the bottom right corner, “Long’s” and “Thomas Long Company Fine Jewelers” are printed in gold script, with “Fontaine” and “ARTISTIC CREDIT” also visible near the bottom center, identifying the artist and lending an artistic touch to the card design.

This card has a value of 20 Units indicated in gold lettering at the top right corner. The overall design combines themes of running, marathon tradition, and Boston’s iconic waterfront and skyline, rendered in an impressionistic, painted art style.
