Searchlight slicing through a dramatic midnight sky, the George Washington Masonic National Memorial crowns Shooters Hill in Alexandria, Virginia in this striking linen-era night-view card — its tiered, lighthouse-inspired tower blazing with amber windows against deep blue-grey clouds, the terraced Greek Revival base swarming with tiny illuminated figures on the steps. Modeled after the ancient Pharos of Alexandria (one of the Seven Wonders), the $4,000,000 monument was decades in the making and still under construction when this card was printed; the back text notes it "is being built" by the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association, dating the printing to roughly the early 1930s before the official 1932 dedication. Published by B. S. Reynolds Co. of Washington, D.C., and printed by C.T. American Art Colored (Curteich, Chicago), this unused card is a compelling piece of Masonic Americana and architectural history from the linen era's most atmospheric period.
