Blank postcard. Black and white image on front shows two bridges during a high flood, likely the Great Flood of Northampton in 1936. Bridges appear to be the two trolley bridges over the Connecticut River. Water reaches the bottom of both bridges and appears to be slushy with ice.
Date of postcard estimated based on date of flood.
