Dated 1912, this stunning ink blotter in standard postcard size, showcases the elegant façade of the Public Library in Lexington, Kentucky—a true gem of Beaux-Arts architecture. With its stately columns and classical detailing, the building stands as a testament to the era’s belief in knowledge, beauty, and civic pride. Libraries like this were often funded by Andrew Carnegie during a time when public access to books was seen as a pillar of democracy.
This ink blotter, or postcard, would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
