Another Attempt at Scenic Beauty
(Random Old Photo)

Odell postcard
(Click on images to enlarge)

Once again a photographer and a printer try and fail to convey Hobart's scenic beauty via postcard. I can't tell where along Lake George this scene was shot. If the card has any redeeming value, it's that it was sent by Eva Odell, daughter of Edwin Odell, the jeweler, and his wife Elizabeth.

No year is legible on the postmark, but the card has the undivided-back style that was in use from 1901 to 1907. Eva was born circa 1890.
