A small white rowboat with a single figure aboard floats on a calm blue lake, framed by dark trees on both banks and a wooded ridge along the far shore. The caption identifies the scene only as coming "from Mineral Wells, Texas," the North Texas resort town that grew famous in the early 20th century for its mineral-water wells and the Baker Hotel. The lake itself is not named on the card.
Linen-textured stock with a cream white border; printed number 72489 at lower right.
