A colorized photographic postcard of a three-masted sailing ship on a lake with purple clouds and a setting sun. Text on the front reads "Sunset on Lake Michigan." A handwritten note on the front reads "Dear Uncle Henry & Aunt Clara, It is so long since I heard from you, an such a very long time since I wrote, I know. I am still up to my ears in work, and unhappily the charm of the task is wearing off. I will write to you both soon. Meantime I hope you are in much better health and assure you of my constant affection. Alice." The postcard is addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Henry C. Barnabee, 225 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y. and is postmarked from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on September 23, 1905.
