Country road in autumn, circa 1910

Lithograph

About this postcard

A dirt country road curves away between autumn trees — slender white birches and yellowing hardwoods on the left, dark evergreens on the right — toward a low, misty hill. The scene is a generic pastoral view rather than a named location, printed with the partial caption "COUNTRY" along the lower edge. Such unsigned scenic lithographs were common early-20th-century fill-in cards sold in assortments rather than as views of a specific place.
