This vintage postcard features a charming lithograph image of The Grotto of Lourdes at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C.

Produced by Capitol Souvenir Company, this postcard is an original piece reflecting the historical and religious significance of the site, which is a faithful replica of the famous Lourdes Grotto in Southern France. The back includes a brief informative text about the grotto's origins and spiritual importance, making it a collectible item for enthusiasts of religious landmarks, Washington DC memorabilia, or vintage postcards. The standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) and unposted condition ensure it is ready for framing or display.
