About this postcard
The print looks along a narrow, straight water channel in Alamo Park, San Antonio, captioned "The Acequi in Alamo Park." The spelling likely stands for acequia, the Spanish-era irrigation ditch that carried water through San Antonio and remained part of the city's landscape into the early 1900s. Lily pads dot the dark water, and pink and purple flowering shrubs bank the left side beneath tall palms and dense evergreens. A clipped hedge and a rough stone edge close the right side. The scene presents the park as a shaded, formal garden, with the old water channel as its centerpiece.
