About this postcard

The card is captioned "Flower Beds, The Front, Buffalo, N. Y." and shows a curving park drive bordered by bright flower beds, mature trees, and several old cannons; people sit on one cannon while a woman walks along the road. The Front, now known as Front Park, is part of Buffalo's historic Olmsted-designed park system and occupies a site overlooking the Niagara River near Lake Erie. The scene reflects the early-20th-century use of public parks for promenades and passive recreation.
