Against a cobalt Detroit night sky, the Edison Memorial Fountain erupts in a spectacular cone of illuminated water — orange and red at its apex fading to cool blue at the basin — a WPA-era spectacle that made Grand Circus Park one of the city's most photographed landmarks through the 1930s and 40s. The Curteich "Art-Colortone" linen process renders the colored lights with almost electric intensity, while the surrounding skyline — including the General Merchandise Building sign glowing at upper right — anchors the scene in Depression-era Detroit. This card was mailed on October 18, 1935 from Detroit to Port Huron, Michigan, addressed to William and his wife at 610 14th Street. The writer, likely named something beginning with "G," fills the message side with cramped script describing a visit: "we are in Detroit… had a very nice time… had not seen another window…" — a warm, chatty dispatch from a traveler enjoying the city's nightlife.
