Laurel Hill from across the Connecticut River, Springfield, Massachusetts, circa 1910

About this postcard

A halftone view of Laurel Hill, its wooded slope rising beyond the Connecticut River, with a large tree in leaf framing the left foreground and the river's surface reflecting the far bank. The caption names the scene as seen from across the Connecticut River at Springfield, Massachusetts, an industrial city on the river in western Massachusetts. Laurel Hill is one of Springfield's wooded elevations overlooking the river valley, and views like this were common in early twentieth-century souvenir cards of the city.
