Regarding the Burch (batting) card, my guess is it is the Statue of Liberty in the background.

The picture of Burch appears to have been taken at the old Brooklyn Heights field when he played for Brooklyn.

The Statue of Liberty is clearly seen from this venue.

As a non T206 collector (*except some backs and scraps) I haven't really noticed the landmarks and/or buildings too much. Nice observation on this one.

Agreed. Here's a typical view from Brooklyn. Just lower the elevation a bit and it's nearly identical to the background image on Burch's card.

The backgrounds could also be creative license, as in they are fabricated.
