[Great Flood]
Image ID: WPC 02:138
Blank postcard. Black and white image on front shows aftermath of a high flood on the Connecticut River, likely the Great Flood of Northampton in 1936. The water has frozen into large showbanks. A path and a road run parallel to the snow and groups of people can be seen walking along both. There is also snow on the ground on the other side of the road as well as telephone poles. One displays a sign for a railroad crossing. A large tree branch in the foreground is bare of leaves.
