About this postcard

A view of the carved granite faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln at Mount Rushmore, framed by a pine tree in the foreground and a pastel sunrise sky behind. The caption names it the Mt. Rushmore Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum directed the blasting and carving of the memorial between 1927 and 1941, and the four 60-foot heads became one of the most recognized monuments in the United States.
