About this postcard

A bird's-eye view of Covington, Kentucky, shows a dense grid of streets, commercial blocks, and houses. The Ohio River and a bridge appear at the left, with hills rising in the background and trees and rooftops filling the foreground. Covington developed as a river town directly across from Cincinnati, and the view shows its compact downtown and the surrounding hills.
