Step inside one of the most extravagantly appointed rooms in the American West — this vibrant linen-era postcard captures the Governor's Reception Room of the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, its coffered gilded ceiling framing an oval sky-blue mural painted by the world-renowned Louis Schettle, from which cascades a massive crystal chandelier fashioned from Utah gold and silver. The room's 22×48-foot Scottish-woven rug (weighing 1,350 pounds), Florence-made curtains, French-production tapestries, and gold-inlaid furniture were all specially commissioned, with total furnishings costing over $65,000 — a staggering sum at the time of the Capitol's completion in 1916, whose total cost reached $2,739,528.54. The warm sepia-gold tones of the linen printing beautifully complement the room's opulent palette of crimson, blue, and gilt. The reverse bears the circular "See America First / See Europe If You Will" patriotic seal of the Carpenter Paper Co. of Salt Lake City — itself a charming artifact of early 20th-century boosterism. Card number 15573 places it within a well-documented regional souvenir series.
