1995.001.2494Description
3 1/2"h x 5 1/2"w color postcard showing the drawing room of Sotterley. The photo focussed on the fireplace and alcove wall with the elaborate carving and half shells at the top of the alcoves. Chairs, a bench, and tables were arranged about the room. The wall on the waterside of the building had two large windows; there were valences and floor length draperies for these windows. There were several pieces of porcelain on the mantel and candlesticks scattered about the room. The floor appeared to be carpeted. [This card scanned too poorly to keep the scanned image.]
