About this postcard

A view over the blue water of Big Bear Lake, with two small sailboats and pine-covered peninsulas and slopes backed by rolling mountains under a pale sky; a granite outcrop frames the lower right corner. The card's own caption places the viewpoint on the "Rim o' the World Drive" in the San Bernardino Mountains, a scenic highway opened in the 1910s–20s that climbs the crest south of the lake. Big Bear Lake, a reservoir in the San Bernardino National Forest, became a popular southern California resort and recreation area in the early 20th century.
