About this postcard

A view across a tidal marsh and inlet on Cape Cod, with dark pines and flowering shrubs in the foreground, a small white outbuilding on a grassy point, and an arched bridge crossing the water in the distance under a sunset sky. The printed caption calls it simply a marsh scene on Cape Cod, a landscape of salt marshes, ponds, and inlets characteristic of the Massachusetts coast.
