Fort Meyer Gate Postcard
This postcard from the early 1900s shows the Fort Meyer Gate entrance to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. It belongs to a souvenir pack called "Views of Beautiful Arlington, VA," which includes other famous spots like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The picture shows a detailed iron gate and stone posts with eagle statues on top, all surrounded by a border decorated with crossed rifles. It was made by the Curt Teich Company, a famous maker of postcards that documented American travel and history during that time.
