About this postcard

A shaded dirt lane curves between dense trees and a grassy bank, printed on the card as "Lovers' Lane, Spring Mount, Pa." Spring Mount is a small community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, near Schwenksville and the Perkiomen Creek, a region that drew summer visitors in the early twentieth century. The view is a typical scenic local lane issued by a small area publisher rather than a national postcard firm.
