This postcard-- published by Valley News Agency out of Staunton, Virginia-- shows "ROBERT E. LEE, as civilian president of Washington and Lee University, (1865-1870), Lexington, Virginia."

The portrait was made by artist John Dabour with crayon pastels, and it hangs in the Lee Chapel on the university campus.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then buy confidently.


For the buyer, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard shipping within the United States.

I collect, trade, and sell postcards because it's interesting and fun. If I'm selling a postcard that you'd like to own but you perceive that my asking price is just too high for your taste or budget, then make an offer or contact me and let's see if we can make a deal. I like it best when everybody gets what they want  :)

Thanks for considering this keepsake.
