About this postcard

A wooded rocky bluff rises above a dark strip of water, with a rail fence along the crest and tall pines silhouetted against a pale sunset sky. The spot is Lovers Leap, a cliff in Bangor, Maine, on the Penobscot River. Bangor was a lumber and shipping town on the Penobscot, and scenic overlooks like this were common view-card subjects. Paul's note mentions boat riding on Sebeck Lake (likely Sebec Lake) and offers the card as one more for the recipient's collection.
