Scope and Content

View of Oakland Park in Rockport, Maine. Oakland Park was a seaside resort/amusement park served by the streetcar line between Camden and Warren. The streetcar stop can be seen in the background. To the right three women stand on a wooden bridge. To the left is a body of water, likely the park's pond, and what appears to be a passenger barge carrying several people. On back is the message: "Look natural? Lovely down there Sunday. Hope you received the pkg. ok yesterday. Move to office Friday & opening Saturday. Mrs. Upton wanted to know when you & Ada were coming. Mida." Addressed to Miss Corinne Sawyer, Milbridge, Maine.
