A pastel sunrise tints the sky peach and blue over the still water of Lake Osceola, with a wooded shoreline in the distance and overhanging branches framing the view; an empty wooden rowboat rests at the near bank among ferns. Lake Osceola is a small lake in Hendersonville, in the Blue Ridge country of western North Carolina, a resort area popular with summer visitors from the lowland South. The card's linen-era coloring and caption follow the standard tourist view of the lake at dawn.
