A view along the shore of Chautauqua Lake, with a small stream running down to the water in the foreground, a sailboat and rowboats offshore, and a large multi-story building rising among tall trees on the bank. The printed caption names the spot as Palestine Park at Chautauqua, New York, a landscaped scale model of the Holy Land laid out beside the lake in 1874 as a teaching aid for the Chautauqua Institution's Bible study programs. Figures stand near the water and along the stream, and a bench and small dock appear at the shoreline.
Cream border; undivided-back era stock; heavy toning/staining across the left half; handwritten message on the front below the caption.
Postmark: CHAUTAUQUA N.Y. JUL 31 1906 1:30 PM — undivided back government postal card with printed "THIS SIDE IS FOR THE ADDRESS ONLY."; 1¢ green Franklin stamp; light toning and a few foxing spots, otherwise clean.
