A tinted view of Mill Mountain rising above the Roanoke valley, its slopes wooded and its summit crowned by a small tower, with open fields, fences and a few scattered buildings in the foreground. Mill Mountain overlooks downtown Roanoke and was a favored excursion spot in the early 20th century; the summit later became home to the city's famous illuminated star, erected in 1949, long after this card was printed.
Wide white border along the bottom carrying the printed caption in red; light foxing spots in the sky; undivided-back era stock.
Postmark: ROANOKE SEP 6 1907 (second cancellation SEP 7 8-30A 1907). Divided back, ornate red 'Post Card' heading, 'Made in Germany' imprint; light edge wear.
