Description:

This collectible phone card from 1994 commemorates the "Taste America 1994" event held at the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Its design prominently showcases a striking photograph of the iconic Capitol, set against a vibrant blue sky dotted with white clouds. Bathed in sunlight, the majestic columns and grand dome of this legendary architectural landmark—an enduring symbol of American democracy—are vividly highlighted. The card captures the historical and cultural spirit of the event, which took place on August 10, 1994, specifically in the Capitol’s Members' Dining Room, underscoring the exclusivity and significance of this Wine & Food Celebration.

The card’s textual elements are thoughtfully arranged to complement the visual centerpiece. The event title, "Taste America 1994," appears boldly in the top left corner in a warm red font that immediately draws the eye. Beneath it, clear, formal blue text provides essential details: the venue—the Members’ Dining Room of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.—and the exact date, August 10, 1994. This precise information anchors the collectible in a distinct moment of political and cultural history, serving as a time capsule for enthusiasts of Americana and gourmet events that blend tradition with civic pride.

On the right side, the distinguished Congressional hosts are honored with appropriate reverence. The Honorable Thomas S. Foley, then Speaker of the House, is named first, emphasizing his leadership role. Alongside him is the Honorable Robert H. Michel, House Minority Leader, reflecting the bipartisan nature of the occasion. Their titles and roles are presented in a clear serif font with asterisks in deep blue, enhancing the formality and importance of their sponsorship. This acknowledgment highlights the event’s official congressional backing, underscoring the high-profile nature of a celebration that unites fine American wines and gourmet cuisine with the nation’s legislative core.

Additional branding and value indicators complete the card’s design. The bottom left corner features the AmeriVox logo, recognizable by a patriotic eagle emblem superimposed over an American flag-outlined map, signifying AmeriVox’s role as the phone service provider and sponsor of this collectible promotional item. On the bottom right, the card’s $5 value is prominently printed in bold red, rounding out the presentation with clear functional information.
