Vintage 1972 “Tourism Year of the Americas” postcard featuring four classic American landmarks in a bold illustrated design.
The front shows Mount Vernon, Washington, D.C. with the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Liberty Bell, all surrounding the large central inscription “Tourism Year of the Americas ’72.” The sepia-toned line artwork gives the card a distinctive early-1970s travel-promotion appearance.
The reverse is designed in an air mail postcard style with red-and-blue border markings and a printed “U.S. Air Mail 15 Cents” Niagara Falls stamp illustration.
An appealing piece of 1970s American travel, tourism, patriotic, landmark, and Washington, D.C. ephemera, with strong crossover interest for collectors of Mount Vernon, Lincoln Memorial, Liberty Bell, air mail, and vintage tourism postcards.
