About this postcard

A dark, still pool sits among evergreens in a mountain valley, with a forested slope rising on the left and a pink and blue sunset sky above. The Dismal Pool was one of the named scenic stops in New Hampshire's White Mountains, a region that drew summer visitors in the early 1900s for its cool air and mountain views.
