A view across the Charles River to the Waltham Watch Factory, where a tall smokestack rises above the mill buildings on the far bank. Bare trees frame the right foreground, and the factory is reflected in the still water. Waltham was a leading center of American watchmaking, and the riverside works were a local landmark.
White border with a thin ruled line around the image; fine halftone screen texture; light edge and corner wear.
No postmark, stamp, or handwriting present. Undivided-style back with decorative floral divider and printed 'POST CARD / FOR CORRESPONDENCE ONLY / FOR ADDRESS ONLY' and a bordered stamp box. Cream stock, matte texture; light soiling and edge wear. Front (context only) shows a white-bordered sepia view captioned 'Charles River Near Waltham Watch Factory, Waltham, Mass.' with plate number (6).
