About this postcard

A view across a blue mountain lake toward a range of snow-streaked peaks, with a band of green trees along the far shore and a small red-roofed building or boathouse at the water's edge. Tall grasses fill the left foreground. The scene is a generic western-style alpine lake view; no caption or imprint identifies the location, so the specific range cannot be confirmed from the card.
