Three views are grouped on one card: a portrait of Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, his two-story homestead, and the large school building he attended in Waltham, Massachusetts. Banks was born in Waltham and went on to serve as governor of Massachusetts, Speaker of the U.S. House, and a Union general in the Civil War. The card places his portrait alongside the local landmarks tied to his early life.
