The view looks down over a winding road—identified by the caption as the Lee Highway—as it approaches Skyline Drive through green Blue Ridge foothills, with farm clearings and scattered houses among the trees. Skyline Drive was built in the 1930s as the scenic crest road of Shenandoah National Park, and the Lee Highway was a major early-20th-century transcontinental auto route through the Shenandoah Valley. The linen-textured card presents the road as a motor-touring attraction.
White border; visible linen crosshatch texture; printed card number 128 at lower right.
