This is an image of the monumental sculpture by Gutzon Borglum of four American Presidents on Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The caption states:
J106 – MOUNT RUSHMORE – BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA
The Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where the busts of four great American leaders… George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln… are sculpted in heroic proportions, is the largest sculpture ever created. The late Gutzon Borglum executed the carving in the granite mountain 6,000 feet high. The busts are 450 feet high. They are thoughtfully called the “Shrine of Democracy.”

–Because the land was granted by treaty in perpetuity to the local Native American tribes before the carving began, the site has experienced considerable controversy over its creation, maintenance and interpretation.

This image likely dates from the 1950s.
