About this postcard

Breeds Island rises from Goose Pond at Lucerne, Maine, with a rocky shoreline and tree cover. A large boulder sits in the foreground water, and a wooded hill fills the distance across the pond. Lucerne was a summer resort village in Dedham, and the scene reflects the early-1900s appeal of Maine's inland ponds for seasonal visitors.
