About this postcard

Rowboats carrying men and women in summer whites move across a pond in Glen Miller Park, while a crowd of onlookers lines the tree-shaded bank behind them. The scene is Glen Miller Park in Richmond, Indiana, one of the city's established public parks and a popular early-20th-century spot for boating and promenading. The sender's note remarks that it was "almost warm enough to-day to take a boat ride," a small detail that ties the message to the leisure shown.
