About this postcard

The picture shows Mount Adams, elevation 12,307 feet, rising snow-covered above a dark conifer forest and reflected in Mirror Lake, Washington; the printed caption identifies it as "the second highest peak in the Cascade Range." Mount Adams is a prominent stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of Washington, and Mirror Lake is a small lake near the mountain. The linen-textured, white-border format suggests a mid-20th-century printing.
