About this postcard

The card shows a broad waterfall pouring over a rock ledge into a rocky stream, with mist rising and dense trees along the banks. The printed caption identifies the site as "High Falls, N. Y." The sepia real-photo view is typical of early twentieth-century scenic postcards of New York.

Am having a fine time. Isn't this a pretty place. It is very near to the house. How does tennis go? Helen.
