Mount Rushmore, South Dakota


Mount Rushmore, South Dakota

Mount Rushmore Memorial, silhouetted against the splendor of a western sunset, America's Shrine of Democracy is hewn from an everlasting sheer granite cliff.

This is postmarked in 1981 with this 12 cent Henry Ford stamp.

Here is just one more ......

Bust of George Washington - Proportionate to a man 465 feet tall.  Mount Rushmore Memorial, Black Hills of South Dakota

An idea of the size of this monument can be obtained by the dimensions shown on this picture.  It may also be remembered that Washington's nose is a large as the entire head of the Sphinx.

This postcard is unused.
