About this postcard

A vivid sunset view across the Great Salt Lake, with the dark, flat-topped mass of Black Rock silhouetted against a red and orange sky and its reflection streaking the blue water; dark rocks in the lower left frame the foreground. Black Rock is a well-known landmark on the lake's shore near the historic Saltair resort, long a subject for postcard views of the Great Salt Lake. The lake itself, the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi, is famous for its high salinity and its shallow, mirror-like surface.
