About this postcard

A view down a broad, heavily tree-shaded street, with an early open automobile and a pedestrian in the roadway, a hanging street lamp overhead, and houses and a corner storefront visible among the trunks. The card's own caption identifies it as Greene Street in Augusta, Georgia, looking west toward the intersection with East Greene. Greene Street is one of Augusta's historic thoroughfares, long noted for its dense canopy of oaks and elms and its 19th-century residences.
