Looking across the dark, reflective waters of the tiered lagoon, the eye is led toward the majestic domed tomb standing silent atop its high, grassy hill. This specific card carries a heartfelt message from the spring of 1945, written on a day when the sun was finally shining and the world felt a little warmer. It serves as a quiet connection to a personal moment in time, sent just as the season began to turn and life moved forward in the shadow of this grand stone monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Linen, 1940s (1945)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Canton\u003cbr\u003eState: Ohio\u003cbr\u003eCountry: United States of America\u003cbr\u003eTopics: Presidential Memorials, Historic Monuments, Reflecting Pools, National Landmarks\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Photographer: Unknown\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Circulated (Postmarked Canton, Ohio, Apr 5, 1945)\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Ralph Young, Canton, Ohio\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Curt Teich and Co., Chicago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis postcard features the C.T. American Art process with production code 105142-N on the front. In the Curt Teich numbering system, the -N suffix identifies this as a reprint of an earlier 1926 view.

However, due to the high costs of maintenance and structural issues, the pond was permanently removed and filled in with a depressed lawn in 1951, the 50th anniversary of President McKinley’s death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curt Teich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45035075600573,"sku":"566 not on etsy","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/566.jpg?v=1775354694","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/566","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
