Iron gates flanked by rough coral-stone pillars stand wreathed in bougainvillea and tropical palms at the entrance to "Villa Serena," the former Miami home of three-time Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan — one of the most electrifying orators in American history, whose final chapter was played out just miles from this lush gate at the Scopes Trial in 1925. This hand-tinted linen-era card, published by the Asheville Post Card Company and postmarked Miami, Florida on March 3, 1930 — less than five years after Bryan's death — shows the estate at the moment when it had already passed into the realm of tourist attraction, its famous owner's name still drawing visitors to Coconut Grove. The sender, writing to a woman named Mrs. Strugie in Port Huron, Michigan, fills the card with news of the warm weather and mentions her husband, weaving a domestic narrative against this backdrop of political history. Two 1-cent green Franklin stamps frank the card, one labeled "Air Mail."
