About this postcard

A quiet stream winds beneath steep, heavily wooded bluffs, with two small rowboats and their occupants drifting near the far bank; the sky fades from pale blue to a pink sunset glow. The caption identifies the scene as a Missouri Ozark mountain stream, the rugged, spring-fed hill country of southern Missouri noted for its limestone bluffs and floatable rivers such as the Current, Jacks Fork and Eleven Point. Linen-era view cards like this popularized the Ozarks as a vacation and float-fishing destination.
