Swans in a Park Stream, c1910, Rochester, New York, Walker's Post Card Shop
The front of this hand-tinted postcard features a tranquil scene of several swans swimming in a winding stream, identified as Red Creek, within a lush, wooded park. The water reflects the surrounding greenery, and a dense line of trees forms the backdrop, with sunlight dappling through their leaves. A narrow strip of green grass and foliage borders the stream, with hints of purple flowers in the undergrowth. The caption printed below the image reads: "GEESE ON PARADE, RED CREEK, GENESEE VALLEY PARK, ROCHESTER, N. Y." (Note: The birds depicted are clearly swans, not geese, despite the caption).
The reverse side of the postcard is divided, with "POST CARD" prominently displayed at the top in an ornate, interlinked script, accompanied by a stylized feather design. Below this, the left side is marked "CORRESPONDENCE" and the right "ADDRESS." Along the left vertical edge, the text reads: "PUBLISHED BY WALKER'S POST CARD SHOP, ROCHESTER, N. Y." In the center-left, an advertising slogan states: "ROCHESTER, N. Y. WHERE QUALITY DOMINATES." A small circular logo, likely "WW" or "WV" for Walker's, is visible in the bottom-left corner. The card also features a printed serial number "A-53991" in the bottom right.
The postcard appears to be unposted, with no stamps or postal markings. There are faint pencil markings "2 7 Mr" in the address section, but no legible personal message is written in the correspondence area. Given the divided back and the style of printing, it likely dates from the early 20th century, specifically the Divided Back era (1907-1915). Shipping
