About this postcard

The picture shows a long wisteria arbor in full bloom, its lavender flower clusters cascading over a low wall beside a broad walk and lawn. The card's only printed text is the number 118 and a photographer credit to R. E. Simpson. Wisteria is a woody climbing vine grown for its fragrant spring racemes, and such garden views were popular subjects for mid-20th-century linen postcards.
