Object Details

Washington’s springtime cherry blossoms have been a compelling attraction since the first trees were given to the city by the Mayor of Tokyo in 1912. The clouds of pink blossoms enhance the photogenic qualities of the city’s monumental architecture featured in this postcard from the mid-20th century.
