Mountain lake with snow-capped peaks, circa 1940

About this postcard

A view across a broad blue lake toward a range of snow-streaked mountains, with dark evergreen forest along the far shore and a white railing and roadside pines in the left foreground. The card carries only a generic caption, so the specific lake and range are not identified; the scene is typical of the high mountain-lake views issued for western North American scenery in the mid-twentieth century.
