Orange grove in fruit, circa 1940

About this postcard

Rows of orange trees heavy with bright orange fruit recede along sandy paths toward a distant tree line, with a broad blue sky of cumulus clouds above and a glimpse of water at the horizon. The scene is a generic citrus grove view of the kind issued for Florida and California tourist markets in the mid-20th century; no caption identifies the specific grove or state.
