A quiet view of the Wabash River near Terre Haute, Indiana, framed by a dark tree trunk at left and overhanging branches at right, with a flowering shrub in the foreground and a low, wooded far bank under a pale sunset sky. The card was issued courtesy of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce as a scenic promotion of the city's riverfront. Terre Haute grew as a Wabash River town and industrial and railroad center in western Indiana, and the river has long been the community's defining natural feature.
White border; visible linen-textured stock; Curt Teich-style 'OA' number at lower right; light foxing and edge wear.
No postmark; unused divided-back card. "C. T. American Art Colored" halftone print with white border, circa 1930s-40s. Light foxing and soiling on the back; no handwriting anywhere.
