A close view of a coconut palm's crown, with clusters of large brown-orange coconuts hanging among green fronds against a pale sky. The printed caption names it simply "A Coconut Tree in Florida," a typical Florida souvenir view of the mid-20th century, when coconut palms along the state's coasts were a standard emblem of the subtropical landscape. The caption is printed vertically along the left edge of the scan, which is rotated a quarter turn.
