About this postcard

A silhouetted palm trunk and fronds frame calm water and a low sun setting behind bands of orange and purple cloud. A second grove of palms stands dark along the horizon at right. The printed caption reads "SUNSET IN BEAUTIFUL FLORIDA," without naming a town or beach. Generic sunset scenes like this were a staple of Florida souvenir cards by the 1930s, selling the state's warm climate and coastal image rather than a specific resort.
