Description
For only $1.00, a visitor to Washington D.C. in 1926 could see many of the most famous sites in the comfort of one of the luxurious buses operated by the Royal Blue Line Motor Tours. Other tours visit Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg National Park. Photographs and accompanying text provide information on many of the landmarks seen on each route.
The brochure also includes a centerfold pictorial map of Washington, with landmarks and public buildings illustrated in profile. Tour routes and locations of interest are highlighted in orange.
The map is copywritten 1914 by the Capital Sight-Seeing Company, but the brochure is dated 1926.
