The Charles River at Waltham, Massachusetts, shown as a broad, reflective stretch between tree-lined banks. On the right bank, a red brick mill with a flagpole and tall smokestack rises above the water, with a smaller gray building at the edge and white houses beyond. The mill and smokestack place the view in Waltham's industrial waterfront, where the Charles River powered factories and mills.
White border along bottom edge; torn/lost upper right corner; undivided-back era stock.
No postmark, stamp, or handwriting on the back — unused card. Undivided back with 'THIS SIDE IS FOR THE ADDRESS.'; white-bordered lithographic view card printed in Germany for a Boston publisher. Minor corner wear, light soiling.
