About this postcard

A woman stands among ferns and redwood sorrel on the forest floor, with massive redwood trunks rising behind her. The caption names the ground cover as ferns and oxalis along the Redwood Highway. The Redwood Highway, a named auto route through California's redwood country, brought tourists into the groves in the 1920s, and the woman gives scale to the old-growth trunks and the low green understory.
