Looking across the still water at Glen Park in Richmond, Indiana, with a small timber-and-stone bridge or dam at the far end and a dirt road curving along the right bank beneath tall trees. The park was a wooded pleasure ground in the city, and the quiet lake scene suggests a place for walks and outings in the early 1900s. The sender's note of October 29, 1906, mentions that there were "only four different cards of this city," a small sign of how few local souvenir views were then available.
