Emerald Lake sits in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, with the steep, snow-streaked face of Mount President rising behind a dense coniferous forest. Dark evergreens frame the foreground, and the mountain is mirrored in the still water. The lake lies in Yoho National Park, a destination for early alpine tourism and mountaineering in the Canadian Rockies. The printed caption identifies the peak and gives its elevation as 10,297 feet.
White border along the bottom edge carrying the printed caption; card number 246 and 'Copyright' printed within the image at lower right. Monochrome print.
No postmark (unused card). Real-photo divided-back card, 'Imprime en Suéde' (printed in Sweden); publisher imprint along left edge: 'Published by The Coast Publishing Co., Vancouver. B.C.' Dealer pencil notation 'RML5 / $8-' at top left. Light toning/foxing on cream stock.
