Nestled like a Victorian jewel box amid the forested slopes of New Hampshire's Presidential Range, the Mount Pleasant Hotel at Bretton Woods gazes serenely over the Ammonoosuc River in this lush Naturekrom color postcard — a view that carries particular weight knowing that just yards away, the neighboring Mount Washington Hotel would host the 1944 Bretton Woods monetary conference that reshaped the global economy. The Mount Pleasant itself, one of the finest of the White Mountain grand resort hotels, opened in 1876 and catered to elite summer visitors seeking cool mountain air and spectacular scenery. Published by Atkinson News Co. of Tilton, NH and printed in the USA using the Naturekrom process, this card's rich blue sky and deep green forest capture the hotel in its full Gilded Age grandeur. The descriptive text on the reverse notes the hotel's "accessibility and beautiful location" — the hallmarks of its enduring appeal until its demolition in 1939.
