About this postcard

A quiet lake at dusk, framed by a dark rocky ledge and overhanging pines, with a pink and pale-green sky reflected in still water. The card carries no printed title, only the imprint of Portland, Maine, publisher G. W. Morris, who commissioned German-printed view cards of New England scenery in the early 1900s. The scene is typical of the Maine lake country marketed to tourists of the period.
