The view looks east along Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, where brick commercial blocks and storefronts line the left side of a wide roadway. Cars from the 1950s are parked and moving through the intersection, a traffic signal stands at the corner, and bare trees edge the right side. The scene captures downtown Waltham as a mid-century retail corridor, with older masonry buildings sharing the street with postwar automobile traffic.
White border; black-and-white halftone print; 1950s automobiles suggest mid-20th-century date.
No postmark. Divided-back card with white border; glossy texture. Printed imprint on the divider: Merrimack Post Card Co., 110 Merrimac St., Haverhill, Mass. No handwriting, address, message, or stamp present; faint show-through of the front caption ("Main Street, Facing East, Waltham, Mass.") at top edge.
