About this postcard

A white neoclassical colonnade of fluted columns on a stepped platform stands at the left, facing a circular reflecting pool with a fountain, with beds of pink roses in the foreground and a brick apartment block among trees at the right. The card names the structure as Mobile's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, a monument honoring the city's military dead, shown here within a landscaped park setting. The scene is rendered in the soft pastel palette typical of mid-1930s American view cards.
