Vintage Postcard Lot George Washington Mansion Garden Art Deco Library Mt Vernon
This lot holds exceptional historical and institutional value, representing the official 1931 souvenir release documenting the estate of George Washington.
The postcards provide detailed vignettes of the founding father's personal life: the Banquet Hall completed immediately after the Revolution, his meticulously plotted Library containing his own books with personalized bookplates, and the Flower Garden configured symmetrically flanking the central bowling green.
The text on the back of Martha Washington's sitting room reveals a fascinating social detail: a "tiny, private staircase" designed so General Washington could sneak directly from his library to his bedroom above to "avoid the company with which the house was always filled after his retirement from the Presidency."
