Original Associated Press Wire Photo showing crowds gathered among the famous cherry blossoms surrounding the Jefferson Memorial during the 1947 National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. The original AP caption is printed directly on the front and notes that Nancy Anderson, daughter of Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson, was crowned Queen of the Fete. A wonderful postwar Washington scene featuring the Jefferson Memorial framed by blooming cherry trees and festival visitors. Measures approximately 16 × 10½ inches. The photo shows light edge wear, minor corner wear, gentle creasing, and typical age-related handling wear consistent with its age. Please see photos.
