About this postcard

An elevated panoramic view looks over a town spread among trees, with an industrial complex and tall red smokestacks prominent at the left. Houses and small commercial buildings are scattered across the middle ground, and a road or rail line runs through the foreground. No printed caption identifies the town or the factory.
