The view looks across a blue mountain lake toward Emigrant Peak, its upper slopes streaked with snow. A band of green trees lines the far shore, a small red-roofed building sits at the water's edge, and tall grasses fill the left foreground. The caption places the scene in Paradise Valley, Montana, on the road from Livingston to Gardiner and the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and gives the peak's elevation as 10,960 feet.
Linen texture (horizontal ribbing) across the whole image; printed caption on the back: "EMIGRANT PEAK (ALT. 10,960 FT.) FROM THE PARADISE VALLEY ON THE ROAD FROM LIVINGSTON TO GARDINER, AND THE NORTHERN ENTRANCE TO YELLOWSTONE PARK"; series number 1209.
No postmark — unused card. Divided-back linen-texture "C.T. Art-Colortone" card published by Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colo.; card number 6A-H2894. Light toning/soiling on the back, corners slightly worn.
