A view across Fletscher Lake (likely Fletcher Lake) toward the Ocean Grove shore, where a long row of wooden Victorian cottages, pavilions, and a small red-roofed boat landing line the water. A single rowboat carrying several figures is out on the lake. Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as a Methodist camp-meeting resort on the New Jersey coast, and its dense rows of wooden cottages and tabernacle grounds became a familiar Victorian seaside landscape.
White border at bottom carrying the printed caption and publisher line; worn, rounded corners and a dark stain/smudge in the sky at upper right. Handwritten name "Ena." and date "8/21/05" in pencil on the front border.
Postmark: OCEAN GROVE AUG 23 11-AM; received PHILA. PA. AUG 23 12 PM 1905. Undivided back; 'THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS'; 1c Franklin stamp; light toning/wear.
