Evergreen trees crowd the near shore of a lake, with a broad, forested mountain rising beyond the water and a grassy slope at the right edge of the frame. The printed caption identifies the peak only as "Blue Mtn." and the card names no town or state; Blue Mountain is a name shared by ridges from the Adirondacks to the Blue Ridge, so the exact range stays open.
Lake-and-mountain views of this kind were common amateur real-photo subjects, made by local photographers and sold or mailed as souvenirs of a nearby outing.
Printed caption "Blue Mtn." on front; no publisher visible; likely a real photo post card. No postmark. Divided-back Kodak real-photo post card with printed headings "PHOTO POST CARD" and "ADDRESS" and '-Kodak- / PLACE STAMP HERE / -Paper-' stamp box, ca. 1920s-30s. Dealer mark "RMLJ 3-" at top; no address or message written. Light foxing/toning spots on card stock.
