I am a huge Biltmore Estate History junkie and have in my collection a set of cards published in 1994 that I purchased at Biltmore House and in the collection of cards (greeting type) is one of this wonderful painting of Virginia Bacon [Mrs. Walter Bacon]. It is my favorite piece in the house.
If your interested in joining fellow Biltmore History and Collector fans join us at our growing club that I have started.
We try to discuss the history into a much more indepth way than your Biltmore guide book will.
