About this postcard

A wooded rocky bluff rises above a dark strip of water, with a rail fence running along the crest of the cliff and tall pines silhouetted against a pale sunset sky. The card names the spot as Lovers' Leap, a landmark cliff on the outskirts of Bangor, Maine, a city on the Penobscot River. The view is rendered in the soft color lithography typical of German-printed American view cards of the early 1900s.
