The card shows a Sunday-afternoon crowd in bathing suits massed on a wooden platform and diving tower at “The Gorge,” with a wooded hillside behind and water below. The printed caption identifies the scene as the diving board at Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Hot Springs National Park, set in the Ouachita Mountains, was established as a federal reservation in 1832 and became a national park in 1921; its thermal springs made it a long-popular resort and bathing destination.
