Mountain lake with snow-capped peaks, circa 1940

About this postcard

A calm alpine lake mirrors a range of snow-streaked peaks, with dark evergreen forest covering the lower slopes and a few tall pines standing on a reddish earthen bank at the left foreground. The scene is a generic western North American mountain view, printed without any caption or place name, so the specific lake and range cannot be identified from the card itself.
