Canoe on a lake at sunset, Aniwa, Wisconsin, 1936

About this postcard

A canoe rests at the near shore of a quiet northern Wisconsin lake, with tall pines and leafy trees framing the water and a dark conifer shoreline across the lake under a pink-and-orange sunset sky. The printed greeting names Aniwa, a small Langlade County community in the lake and pine country of northern Wisconsin. The sender is vacationing in the area, getting acquainted with local folks and promising a longer letter about the trip. The lake itself is not identified, so the view reads as a generic northern Wisconsin resort scene.
