The interior view showcases the bed adorned with two original pillows, positioned under which Jefferson passed away on July 4, 1826. The surrounding room includes a simple wooden table and a fireplace with elegant mantle, reflecting the early American architectural style. The reverse side of the postcard provides a brief description of Monticello, noting its significance as a National Memorial and Patriotic Shrine, maintained by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation in New York.
