A scenic view titled "At Sundown" shows a large, leafy tree in the left foreground casting dark shadows over a grassy bank, with a broad, still river or lake reflecting a glowing orange and pink sunset sky; a low tree line marks the far shore. The card is a color halftone reproduction of a painterly landscape rather than a view of an identifiable place, typical of the mood or "art" subjects issued by Midwestern postcard publishers in the first decades of the 20th century.
