About this postcard

A view across a tidal marsh and inlet on Cape Cod, framed by dark pines and flowering shrubs in the foreground, with 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 names it simply as a marsh scene on Cape Cod, the sandy peninsula whose salt marshes, ponds and inlets have long been a signature of the Massachusetts coast.
