"Cow in Lake," 1908

Here's a random pointless postcard I bought that doesn't tell us anything helpful about Hobart, but I'm too tired to do anything serious today.

I'm sure it looked all verdant and serene when August Haase photographed it. Hate to think about the mosquito larvae wriggling around in that water.

The postmark is 1908.



"Cow in lake," someone has helpfully written on the back. This is "down on the river," according to the writer, so maybe somewhere along the Deep River?

I think the writer is Lillian Maud Collins and the addressee her future husband, Joseph Archibald Teegarden. They were married in 1911. Awww, isn't that sweet? but nothing to do with Hobart.
