About this postcard

The card is captioned "Corning Fountain and State Capitol, Bushnell Park, Hartford, Conn." and shows the Corning Fountain in the foreground, with the Connecticut State Capitol and its gold dome rising behind trees. The Corning Fountain was designed by sculptor J. Massey Rhind and funded by a bequest from John J. Corning. Bushnell Park is among the oldest publicly funded parks in the United States, and the Connecticut State Capitol, completed in 1878, remains a landmark at its north end.
