Vintage Washington, D.C. Lincoln Memorial Souvenir Postcard

This is a standard rectangular souvenir postcard featuring the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. at night. The card is orientations horizontally within a protective plastic album sleeve. The image side showcases the memorial's Neoclassical Doric architecture illuminated with a warm, golden glow against a deep twilight blue sky. The text 'Washington, D.C.' is printed in a stylized, cursive script in light blue/white hues along the right-hand edge. The card appears to be printed on a high-gloss cardstock, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century souvenir stationery. Regarding condition, the postcard is housed in a clear plastic pocket, which shows some surface rippling and light reflections. The card itself shows sharp corners and vibrant color saturation, suggesting it has been well-preserved from UV light and handling. The left edge of the visible image shows a sliver of another postcard with a decorative red and green border, indicating this is part of a larger collection or set. The saturation and font style suggest an estimated age from the 1980s to the early 1990s. There are no signs of foxing, creasing, or significant yellowing visible on the front face.
