A deep blue lake fills the lower half of the view, ringed by bare rock and gravel shore, with a long, brownish mountain ridge rising behind it. Snow patches streak the gullies of the ridge and a band of dark green scrub or timber runs along its lower slopes. The scene is a generic high-country lake view; no caption, place name, or publisher imprint appears on the front, so the specific location cannot be identified from the card itself.
