About this postcard
A broad, slow river stretches toward a wooded far bank, with a small rowboat carrying several figures near the center. Weathered stakes or a fish trap stand in the shallows in the foreground, and overhanging branches frame the view. The caption reads "University Girls, Vermillion, S. D.," identifying the group with the college town that was home to the University of South Dakota. The wide water is likely the Missouri River, which runs south of Vermillion and was a local setting for outings and recreation in the early 1900s.
