Postcard
The Bridal Altar, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. #5477
Published by Bagby Howe Drug Co., Louisville
No postmark-unused card
Item/Collection Note: Rock formation within the cave prompted the name of this area but some marriages were actually performed there. Photographs made by Ben Harris and copyrighted by Henry C. Ganter, long-time manager of the tourist attraction, were not the first taken in Mammoth Cave but were used in many promotions, especially in postcard format.
