Colonial-style bedroom with four-poster canopy bed, circa 1940

About this postcard

A period bedroom interior furnished in colonial revival taste: a tall four-poster bed hung with blue-and-white striped canopy and valance dominates the room, with a floral-upholstered wing chair at left, a bow-front chest of drawers with mirror at right, a small side table, and patterned wallpaper with a multi-pane window. The view is a color-tinted rendering rather than a photograph, of the kind issued for historic house museums and shrine interiors in the mid-20th century. No caption or location is printed on the front, so the specific house cannot be identified from the scan.
