A close view of a cotton plant heavy with open white bolls, set against a field of dark green foliage and bare earth. The card's own caption calls it a "cotton stalk loaded with cotton in Dixieland," and the photograph is credited to the Tennessee Department of Conservation. Cotton was the defining cash crop of the American South, and views like this were popular souvenir subjects celebrating the region's agricultural staple.
Linen-textured stock with a white border; small red mark at the left edge; number 48033 printed at lower right.
No postmark. Linen-texture divided-back card with white border (front); blue imprint "POST CARD" / "MADE IN USA" / "Published by Asheville Post Card Co., Asheville, N. C." Light soiling and a few foxing spots; no tears.
