A view across Lindenlure Lake, with trees turning red and gold along the shore and a small dam or spillway at the far end of the water. The caption promotes the scene as part of the Ozarks, "land of a million smiles," a tourism phrase for the Missouri Ozarks. Lindenlure was a small resort community in Christian County, Missouri, and the lake drew vacationers to the Ozarks.
Linen-textured stock with a narrow white border; card number 38 printed after the caption. Slight wear at the corners.
Unused divided-back E.C. Kropp "Natural Color" post card, ca. 1948 (handwritten "Sep, 48"); sender's "From" return address in blue ink at lower left reading "Della Bosworth / Strafford / Mo"; light edge wear and slight toning. No postmark.
