About this postcard

Sunset light falls across the water at Silver Springs, Florida, with a large moss-draped tree and flowering shrubs framing the foreground. A glass-bottom boat sits on the water, the kind of craft that carried visitors over the spring's clear water to see fish and submerged features below. By the 1930s, Silver Springs was a well-known Florida tourist stop, and its glass-bottom boats were a long-established attraction. The quiet, semitropical scene shows the spring as both a natural landmark and a place shaped by tourism.
