The view looks down Ninth Street in Lynchburg, Virginia, captioned as it appeared "in War Times." Brick commercial buildings line the street, a tall church tower rises at the right, and hills close the horizon beyond the town. The foreground drops away in a rough, sloping yard or street edge, a reminder of Lynchburg's hilly setting. During the Civil War the city was a Confederate supply and hospital center, and the caption frames the street as a wartime scene rather than a contemporary view.
White border along bottom with printed caption "Ninth Street in War Times, Lynchburg, Va."; light staining/foxing in lower margin; color lithograph.
No postmark, address, or message — unused card. Undivided back ("THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS"), green ornamental "Post Card" heading, stamp box reading PLACE / STAMP HERE / DOMESTIC ONE CENT / FOREIGN TWO CENTS, series no. 13586, "Printed in Germany" and "Souvenir Post Card Co., New York and Berlin." on the left edge; heavy foxing/staining and yellow spotting across the card.
