Summary

Description
English: Scanned from postcard, indicating publication. Dirt slightly retouched. Likely colorized from a black-and-white photo of a sunset. Back reads:

"M. Reider, Publ., Los Angeles, Cal. and Leipzig. No. 3447." "IN SPACE BELOW MAY BE WRITTEN SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS (NO OTHER WRITING)"

"THE SPACE ABOVE IS RESERVED FOR POSTMARK." "POST CARD."

The card is postmarked for February 26, 1908, 6:30 pm. Estimated date comes from this nearly identical photograph, dated 1904. Although the trees look nearly identical in the two photographs, they are taken from slightly different angles, as evidenced by parallax. In particular, the postcard source photograph is taken from slightly higher and to the right of the other photograph.
