Souvenir guidebook celebrating Virginia’s Tercentennial (1607-1907), featuring historic and contemporary views of Alexandria. The ornate cover showcases Christ Church, Mount Vernon, and a waterfront panorama of the city. At top left, the bridge leading to the Capitol depicts one of the proposed designs for the Memorial Bridge—featuring large towers at each end that were, fortunately, never constructed. Published by Alex J. Wedderburn and endorsed by the City Council and Chamber of Commerce.
