Postcard from James Thompson McCleary to Elihu Root
James Thompson McCleary sends a postcard from Budapest to Elihu Root containing the message, “Welcome to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Commission.” The meaning of the message is unclear, especially in relation to the image on the card. The image shows a man holding a cross aloft and standing in what looks like the ruins of a coliseum, but it might be a distortion of Hero’s Square. There is a large, impressive building in the background that looks like the Hungarian National Parliament or possibly Buda Castle. A small man and woman are silhouetted in the foreground.
