Submitted by Allen Armstrong, who says, "This photo is slightly larger than 8-1/2 x 11 inches on heavy cardboard. It appears to be either a print of a painting or a hand-colored photograph, I cannot tell which. On the back, in what appears to be my grandmother's handwriting, it reads: "Old swimming hole - Crystal lake. Before it was dredged out." |
