Description

Vintage Old Tomb Mt. Vernon VA White Border Postcard by B.S. Reynolds. This vintage postcard features the Old Tomb at Mt. Vernon, Virginia, the original resting place of George Washington before the construction of the new tomb in 1837. The image depicts the gated stone tomb with lush greenery surrounding it, evoking a strong sense of American history and reverence for the first U.S. president. Notably, this site was visited by Lafayette in 1824 as a memorial tribute. Published by B.S. Reynolds Co., Washington, D.C., this postcard is a classic example of the White Border era (1915-1930). The postcard measures the standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches and showcases period-typical lithographic printing with fine detail and vibrant yet subtle coloration. This unposted, original postcard is a collectible piece for history buffs and postcard enthusiasts interested in presidential landmarks and early 20th-century Americana.
