About this postcard

A tinted view of a curving park drive at sunset, with a horse-drawn carriage rolling along the road at right, a broad lawn and scattered trees at left, and a low tree line under a yellow-and-orange sky. The caption names the spot as Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Cherokee Park was laid out in the 1890s by Frederick Law Olmsted's firm as part of Louisville's Olmsted-designed park system along Beargrass Creek, and its scenic loop drives were a favorite subject for local postcard publishers in the early 20th century.
