About this postcard

A winding gravel path climbs through a landscaped hillside in Highland Park, Rochester, New York, bordered by broad beds of low, colorful foliage and shaded by tall deciduous trees; several small figures in early-20th-century dress stroll along the walk. Highland Park was laid out in the late 1880s on land given by nurserymen Patrick Barry and others, and it became famous for its lilac collection, planted from 1892 onward. The card's tinted, textured rendering is typical of mass-produced view postcards of the period.
