Two large glacial boulders form Judges Cave, enclosed by an iron fence on a grassy slope in West Rock Park. Trees frame the opening at left and right against a pink and blue sky. Local tradition connects the cave with two English judges who fled to New England after the execution of Charles I and reportedly hid on West Rock. By the early 1900s the park was a scenic destination above New Haven.
White border along right edge; printed number 607 in lower right corner; light soiling and wear on the white border.
No postmark, stamp, or handwriting. Undivided back ("THIS SIDE IS FOR THE ADDRESS ONLY"), printed in green on cream stock; imprint "Made in Germany. A.C. Bosselman & Co., New York." Light pencil "50" at top right. Front shows a white border at right edge.
