Description

1906 White House Wedding Postcard Alice Roosevelt Nicholas Longworth Franz Huld. This remarkable historical postcard captures a significant moment in American history: the White House Wedding of Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth. The front features a striking view of the White House, framed by an ornate border, with individual portraits of President Theodore Roosevelt, his daughter Alice Roosevelt, and her husband Nicholas Longworth. The design, copyrighted in 1906 by Franz Huld, Publisher, New York, is a testament to the early 20th-century postcard artistry. The postcard's reverse is equally compelling, bearing a clear New York postmark dated February 18, 1906, just one day after the actual wedding ceremony. It was addressed to Miss Emma Wirth at the Hotel Savoy in New York City and carries a handwritten personal message. This piece offers a tangible connection to the social events and prominent figures of the Progressive Era, making it a highly collectible item for those interested in presidential history, early 20th-century Americana, or vintage ephemera.
