Wooded stream with sandy banks and distant mountains, linen-era landscape postcard, circa 1940

About this postcard

A quiet stream curves between broad sandy banks and a curving road or path, framed by tall trees turning from green to autumn red and gold, with hazy blue mountains in the distance. The scene is a generic scenic view rather than an identified landmark, printed in the soft pastel palette typical of American linen-textured postcards of the late 1930s through the 1950s. The production codes in the corners belong to the printer's numbering rather than to a named locality.
