About this postcard

A paved road curves around a dark rock outcrop behind a rough stone parapet, where a single figure stands looking out over Honolulu. Houses and city blocks spread across the valley floor, with a mountain ridge beyond and the sea at the horizon. The printed caption names the spot Punchbowl, an extinct crater above Honolulu that gives a wide view of the city.
