Description

This postcard features a color illustration of the Pearl River where it flows through Jackson, Mississippi. The river is flanked by thick trees with a small, cleared area on the bank at the foreground of the image. Two men are standing on the water's edge on the left side of the river and a platform is depicted on the cleared part on the right side of the river. Trees are reflected in the river's water. The title of the card is printed along the top edge of the image. An inscription is written in the bottom left over the dirt clearing part of the image. The back of the card is addressed to Miss Ruby Ellis in Florence, Mississippi. The card is postmarked twice, though only the Jackson, Miss., September 16, 1933 is readable. A green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner. An inscription is written sideways on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
