chs-010955Description
This colorized photo postcard titled "The Lowland Pasture" in Chester, N.Y., a peaceful rural landscape unfolds under a gentle sky with a warm hue, where a herd of cows grazes leisurely among scattered trees in a tranquil, sunlit clearing. The scene captures the essence of pastoral life, with the cows softly mingling in the lush, green meadow, framed by the silhouettes of tall, slender trees stretching towards the softly painted sky.
The image shows the back of an old postcard addressed to Mr. and Mrs. V. Arnette, located at 335 W. 39 St., New York City, featuring a green one-cent U.S. postage stamp in the upper right corner and a postmark from Chester, N.Y., dated July 24, 1911. It includes a handwritten message which reads: "Dear Ma & Pa, This is where we went to day for an auto ride. Love, Katie.”Subject Place
