About this postcard
A tinted halftone view across the water of Lake Pepin, with a rocky, wave-washed shore of boulders in the foreground and a low tree-lined far bank beneath a pale pink sky. The card's own caption places the scene at Lake City, Minnesota, on Lake Pepin — a wide, natural widening of the Mississippi River between Minnesota and Wisconsin noted for its scenic bluffs and summer resorts. Lake City, settled in the 1850s on the lake's western shore, became a popular steamboat landing and resort town in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
