Hyde's Point, Grand Isle, Lake Champlain, Vermont, circa 1940

About this postcard

A wooded point of land on Grand Isle juts into Lake Champlain, with a sandy shoreline, a couple of small boats pulled up or moored at the water's edge, and a pastel sunset sky reflected in the calm water. Hyde's Point is on the southern end of Grand Isle, the largest island in Lake Champlain, a long-settled farming and summer-resort area of Vermont's Champlain Islands. The linen-textured card with its tinted sunset sky is typical of the 1930s-1940s "linen" era of American postcards.
