A pale river loops in a broad S-curve through a valley of vividly banded, eroded hills, with dark conifers framing the foreground and slopes. The pastel coloring of the bluffs and the pine-studded banks suggest a Western American scene such as the Yellowstone or Bighorn country, though the card carries no printed caption naming the spot. The picture is rendered in the soft, tinted style typical of mid-century linen postcards.
Linen-textured stock with visible crosshatch weave; no printed caption or imprint on the front; thin white margin at the edges.
No postmark; unused card. Divided-back linen-texture card with blue imprint, C.T. Art-Colortone / Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colo.; light soiling, no damage.
