A broad blue lake stretches toward a range of snow-streaked peaks, with dark evergreen forest along the far shore. A white railing and roadside pines frame the left foreground. The printed caption reads only "A BEAUTIFUL LAKE IN THE MOUNTAINS," so the specific lake and range are not identified. The card was addressed to Sandpoint, Idaho, a town on Lake Pend Oreille, but the view cannot be tied to that lake from the caption alone.
Linen-textured stock with a cream border; printed number 4A-H1098 at lower right, a Curt Teich-style job number. No writing on front.
No postmark; card appears unmailed (no stamp, no cancellation). Divided-back linen-texture card with cream border; handwritten date Aug 11 1945 on message side. Light edge wear.
