Wachant Rock, rocky lake shore and mountains, circa 1910

Card type
Printed photo

About this postcard

A monochrome view across a broad sheet of water toward a rugged, rocky shoreline backed by steep, snow-flecked or light-toned mountain slopes; low rocky islets break the surface in the foreground. The card's own caption names the scene simply "Wachant Rock." The photograph is printed in a grainy, high-contrast photomechanical process typical of early twentieth-century view cards, and no further identification of the site is printed on the front.
