A view across the lawns of McKinley Park in Tacoma, Washington, where pale gravel walks curve between clumps of trees, shrubs and beds of red flowers, with wooded slopes and a few houses on the ridge above. The park was named for President William McKinley, who was assassinated in 1901, and the card's tinted lithography and undivided-era styling place it in the first decade of the twentieth century, when such municipal parks were promoted as scenic respites in growing Pacific Northwest cities.
White border; edges and corners chipped and worn, with paper loss along the right edge and light surface soiling.
