About this postcard

The card, captioned “Arlington Memorial Bridge, Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, Washington, D.C.,” shows the bridge’s stone-faced arches spanning the Potomac River at sunset, with the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument beyond. Arlington Memorial Bridge was completed in 1932 as a neoclassical link between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in 1922, and the Washington Monument, completed in 1884, remains the city’s most recognizable obelisk.
