Postcards: Mammoth Cave
The Crystal Lake postcard on the back reads-
As seen from the bridge 60 feet above the water, this green pool lying at the bottom of a stone garden decorated with crystal clear stalactites is one of the most captivating sights remembered by the visitor. Of unusual interest is September Morn, a white stalactite formed in the shape of a bathing beauty. The statue is 35 inches long and about 5 inches in diameter. By a unique arrangement of the lights, this statue may make a quick change from robe to bathing costume. Crystal Lake is 270 feet beneath the surface.
The other postcard, "Ruins of Karnak in Mammoth Cave, Ky." has no info on the back. Both cards are undated.
