About this postcard

A rowboat carrying two figures drifts on a calm river beside a wooded bank. One figure holds a red parasol, and large trees frame the foreground. The scene is a pastoral river view with no identifiable local landmark. The card's Czech greeting points to Chicago's Czech-speaking community in 1911.
