About this postcard

A pastoral view of a Kentucky horse farm: a dark bay horse with a white blaze and halter stands at a stone watering trough in the foreground, while other horses graze on the broad bluegrass pasture behind. White farm buildings and barns with red roofs sit among trees along the horizon, framed by a large shade tree at left and tall hollyhocks in bloom along the fence. The card presents the Bluegrass region's famed thoroughbred and stock-raising landscape as a scenic attraction for tourists.
