Dead Man's Island appears as a small, wooded islet in the calm water of Lake Champlain, with tall pines in the foreground and a low, dark headland along the horizon beneath a pink-and-yellow sunset sky. The caption names the scene as Dead Man's Island on Lake Champlain. The lake stretches between Vermont and New York and into Quebec, and its many islands were familiar subjects for early twentieth-century scenic postcards.
No white border; fine halftone/stipple texture typical of early color-printed cards; caption printed in lower left corner; light edge and corner wear.
No postmark; no stamp applied; back is entirely unused. Divided-back "POST" / "CARD" with a publisher's triangle trademark (monogram) between, "MESSAGE MAY BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE" / "ADDRESS ONLY ON THIS SIDE", and a stamp box printed with one-cent/two-cent postage directions; green imprint of The Hugh C. Leighton Co., Portland, Me., with "MADE IN GERMANY" and card no. 27455. Light toning/soiling, no damage.
