About this postcard

A black-and-white view of Jackson Falls, where the Wildcat River tumbles over a series of granite ledges in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, framed by dense conifers and hardwoods under a cloudy sky. The falls sit just below the village of Jackson, a resort town in Carroll County that grew popular with summer visitors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The long-exposure, silky rendering of the water is typical of scenic photography of the period.
