A generic scenic view of a calm lake or river edge lined with dense green trees, with a sandy shoreline in the foreground and a low horizon of distant hills under a blue sky with white clouds. The card carries only a greeting naming Le Mars, Iowa, a northwest Iowa city founded in the 1860s as a railroad and later creamery and blue-bunny ice cream center; the view itself is a stock scenic rather than an identifiable local landmark.
Linen-textured stock with a wide orange border; printed card number 72512 at lower right. Slight corner wear.
No postmark — card was not mailed; handwritten date "Apr - 20 - 1944" in the address area. Divided-back linen-texture card with Tichnor imprint and one-cent stamp box; light edge wear, no creases.
