About this postcard

The view looks across Emerald Lake toward a shoreline of evergreen trees, with a curving road and a few early automobiles parked near the water. The cars suggest the early automobile-touring era, when visitors began reaching Lassen's high country by road. Emerald Lake lies in the volcanic landscape that became Lassen Volcanic National Park in 1916.
