About this postcard

The card, captioned "Vacation Time / By Stettman," shows a solitary figure seated on a rock at the edge of a calm lake or pond, with a small rowboat drawn up nearby and dense trees under a sunset sky. The scene is set within a printed faux-wood frame, a decorative convention common on early twentieth-century pictorial postcards.
