Forest waterfall, circa 1940

About this postcard

A two-tiered waterfall tumbles over a rocky, moss-darkened ledge into a shallow stream at the foot of the image, framed by dense green woodland and a pale, leaning tree trunk at the left. The picture carries no printed caption or place name, so the specific falls cannot be identified from the card itself; it is a typical mid-century scenic view of the sort issued for mountain and park tourist areas.
