About this postcard

A view across Lake Champlain from Burlington, Vermont, framed by overhanging tree branches in the foreground, with a low mountain ridge along the far shore, a small boat on the water, and a smokestack and rooftops at the lower right. Burlington sits on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, and the long ridge visible across the water is the Adirondack front in New York State. The lake, roughly 120 miles long, has long been a summer resort and steamboat corridor between Vermont and New York.
