In the summer of 1927, Monticello was illuminated by what was said to be the largest search light in the world, erected by the Virginia Public Service Company and shining from the Monticello Hotel located on Court Square in Charlottesville.
This postcard was printed for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation by the Albertype Company in Brooklyn, NY.
