The view looks down on a grid of flat-roofed commercial blocks and streets in downtown Corpus Christi, with the broad blue water of Corpus Christi Bay stretching across the horizon behind the town. By the late 1940s, Corpus Christi was a growing Gulf Coast port and trading center, and the scene shows a downtown of low storefronts and a few taller buildings set against the bay.
Linen-textured stock with a white border; handwritten note in blue ink across the sky at upper left; Curt Teich-style number 3A-H1502 at lower right.
No postmark. Blank back — no message, address, or stamp. Linen-era Curteich "C.T. Art-Colortone" stock (front bears series no. 3A-H1502), white border, undivided back with no divider line.
