A stately white-columned façade peers through a canopy of mature elms in this evocative real-photo-style advertising card for the Beekman Arms — billed proudly as the oldest hotel in America, its roots traced all the way back to 1700. The two-story Georgian Revival building in Rhinebeck, New York, sits in Dutchess County's rolling Hudson Valley countryside, and by 1919 proprietor W. W. Foster had polished it into a year-round destination worthy of this handsome promotional keepsake. The card was never mailed — the reverse is pristine, blank save for a penciled dealer price of "4—" — making it a fine, clean survivor of the interwar hospitality trade and a prized piece for Hudson Valley or hotel-history collectors alike.
