Historic "In the Back Bay Fens" BOSTON MASSACHUESTTS Olmsted Park VALENTINE 1911

Description: The Back Bay Fens is a parkland and urban wild in Boston, Massachusetts, established in 1879. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted to serve as a link in the Emerald Necklace Park system, the Fens gives its name to the Fenway-Kenmore. It is a large, picturesque park that is essentially an ancient spot of saltwater marshland that has been surrounded by dry land, disconnected from the tides of the Atlantic Ocean, and landscaped into a park with fresh water within. The Fens has a number of waterways, the Muddy River and Stony Brook among them. This card, published by the “Valentine & Sons New York & Boston” captures a couple walking along a river or stream. The sender writes that “it is one of her favorite walks in the Fens”. The card is in very good condition with dogged corners but a clean, clear image. There is a short message on the reverse which is clean. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible.
