The postcard features a sepia-toned image of Thomas Jefferson's alcove bed, an intimate setting that showcases the simplicity and historical significance of the furniture. The alcove is framed by a distinctive architectural archway, leading the viewer's gaze to a neatly made bed adorned with pillows and a soft quilt. In the background, a fireplace and a small table add to the room's cozy yet sophisticated ambiance. The accompanying text notes that Monticello, Jefferson's home in Virginia, is now a patriotic shrine, preserving this intimate space as a testament to his life. The postcard also highlights that the two original pillows from the bed were present when Jefferson passed away on July 4, 1826, marking a poignant connection to the 50th anniversary of his death.
