Jamestown VA Virginia Church Tower Graveyard Postcard Colonial Dames Gift

This vintage postcard features a colorized image of the famous old tower and Memorial Church ruins at Jamestown, Virginia, the site of the first permanent English settlement in America, established in 1607. The tower is covered in ivy and surrounded by trees and an iron fence, illustrating a serene historic landmark. The postcard captures the solemn beauty of the church built over the foundations of the first brick church dating back to 1638-39. Inside the church are ancient tombs and remains of the smaller 1617 church, where America's first Legislative Assembly convened in 1619.

Printed by Genuine Curt Teich, Chicago, this postcard is an original from the early-to-mid 20th century, as indicated by the printing style and back text. It was issued by The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Richmond, VA, highlighting its collectible value for history and postcard enthusiasts. The Memorial Church was restored as a gift from the Colonial Dames of America, making this postcard a unique memento of early American colonial heritage. A great addition for collectors of Americana, historic sites, or vintage postcards.
