5 1/2"h x 3 3/8"w black and white photo on buff paper of the monument to Leonard Calvert, first governor of Maryland. The monument is on the grounds of Trinity Episcopal Church in Saint Mary's City. It is a very tall square with a pyramid capstone, just like the Washington Monument. There are three blocks of stone in graduated sizes as a support, then a large square block with plaques of text on all four sides, and then nine blocks, each defined by a belt of stone, to the top. There is a circular plaque on the bottom block. The St. Mary's River is at the bottom of the bluff. A wreath is laid at the monument each Maryland Day in March. Text on the bottom of the card "Monument to Leonard Calvert, first governor of Maryland, St. Mary's City MD."
