Moonlight on Moosehead Lake, Maine, circa 1934

About this postcard

A moonlit view across Moosehead Lake, with a tall pine in the left foreground, its branches silhouetted against a twilight sky and the moon's reflection trailing on the water. Moosehead is Maine's largest lake, set among the Longfellow Mountains, and by the early 20th century it drew sportsmen and summer visitors who arrived by rail to fish, hunt, and stay at the camps along its shores. Moonlight scenes were a stock subject for scenic postcards of the region, chosen to sell the quiet romance of the north woods.
