Vintage White House at Night Souvenir Postcard
This item is a rectanglar souvenir postcard featuring a photographic depiction of the White House in Washington D.C. at night. The card is oriented horizontally but currently shown vertically. The central photograph is framed by a thin multi-line border in shades of black, red, and gold, centered against a white cardstock background. To the right of the image (or bottom when oriented correctly), the text 'Washington D.C.' is printed in a stylized, cursive script. The photograph captures the North Portico of the mansion, brilliantly illuminated against a dark navy blue night sky, with visible light reflecting off the fountain in the foreground. In terms of physical condition, the postcard is housed within a protective clear plastic sleeve inside an album, which has preserved its surface from significant oils or scratches. The cardstock appears to be in excellent condition with sharp corners and no visible creases, though a slight purple ink smudge is visible on the far left white margin, likely from a stamp or handled ink. The printing quality suggest it is from the late 20th century, likely the 1980s or 1990s, based on the typography and saturation of the color lithography. There are no visible maker's marks on the front, and the back is obscured by the mounting.
