A scenic view of a lake bordered by trees in autumn color, with green fields and a broad diagonal band—appearing to be a country road with a white center line—crossing the composition. No caption or place name is printed, so the location is unidentified. The card is a typical mid-century linen-texture scenic of the kind sold in drugstores and souvenir racks.
