A sunset view across Cypress Lake near Sumter, South Carolina. Dark cypress and pine silhouettes frame a sky banded in red, orange and blue above still water. Sumter, the seat of Sumter County in the South Carolina midlands, lies in a region of pine woods, swamps and cypress ponds typical of the coastal plain interior, and the lake was a local scenic spot of the kind often printed for visitors and residents alike.
Linen-textured stock with a white border; series numbers E-5696 and NS-8 printed in the margin; scan is rotated 180 degrees.
No postmark. Divided back with "THIS SPACE FOR WRITING MESSAGES" and one-cent stamp box; linen-textured card with white border; light soiling and a few foxing spots on the back.
