Mount Corcoran by Albert Bierstadt 1876–77 Postcard
After the Gold Rush, the Western landscape became a source of fascination for Americans. Bierstadt’s dramatic images of the region commanded the highest prices of any works by an American artist at that time. Mount Corcoran is a composite of impressive sites that the painter saw during his travels to the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the 1860s and early 1870s. In part inspired by the Corcoran’s purchase of his rival Frederic Church’s Niagara, Bierstadt presented Mount Corcoran to the Gallery for consideration (though just weeks earlier he had exhibited it in New York as Mountain Lake). The wily artist also presented William Wilson Corcoran with a War Department map showing the location of Mount Corcoran. Several days later the museum’s curator, William MacLeod, discovered that a government official had manually added Corcoran’s name to the map. Bierstadt conceded, “I am happy to have named one of our highest mountains after him, the first to catch the morning sunlight and the last to say goodnight.” You can personalise the design further if you'd prefer, such as by adding your name or other text, or adjusting the image - just click 'Customise' to see all the options.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
