The word Delaware here belongs to the name Delaware Water Gap. The postcard presents the Gap as the subject, using views of river and wooded terrain to frame the greeting.
The Delaware River cut the gap through Kittatinny Ridge. The Kittatinny Hotel opened in 1832, and later rail service supported a resort trade built around views like the ones on this postcard.
