This vintage postcard features a color lithograph view of Hampton Roads at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, with a prominent coastal defense gun emplacement in the foreground and several naval ships in the distant harbor. The inset shows the historic Hotel Chamberlin grounds, managed by Geo. F. Adams, giving a glimpse of the serene hotel gardens and cannonball displays. The postcard is a divided back type, dating from 1907 to 1915, and measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches. The card was postmarked in Washington on February 12, 1911, and bears a one-cent green U.S. postage stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin. The handwritten message adds a personal touch, making this a collectible piece of early 20th-century Americana and military history. Ideal for collectors interested in coastal fortifications, historic hotels, or Virginia landmarks, this postcard captures a significant era before World War I with vivid color and period charm.
