About this postcard

A stone bridge arches over the San Antonio River, with a paved walkway, trees, and buildings along the banks. A red umbrella and stone retaining walls line the water. The river runs through the business district and is crossed by bridges 42 times; its landscaped banks helped earn San Antonio the nickname "Venice of Texas."
