Rural farm shed and trees, circa 1910

About this postcard

A small board-and-batten outbuilding with a gabled roof stands among bare and leafy trees behind a rough fence, with a frame building and chimney at the right and an open field in the foreground. The image is heavily blurred and streaked, so no lettering, signage, or landmark identifies the location. It is a typical anonymous rural snapshot of the early 20th century, of the kind sold or mailed as a real photo postcard.
