This postcard depicts a historical view of Morningside Park and Cathedral Heights in New York City during what appears to be an early period given the style of buildings and train depicted on tracks crossing a bridge or viaduct. The centerpiece is a large, ornate arch structure with intricate detailing which could suggest it's part of the park or cathedral complex mentioned in the title. In the background are multiple tall structures that look like institutional buildings such as hospitals or universities from its design features, indicative of early 20th-century architecture and urban planning. The foreground shows a train on tracks over an elevated bridge-like structure, with lush greenery around it, suggesting proximity to nature within this city setting. Notably, the title reads "Morningside Park and Cathedral Heights," along with copyright information by Myron Underhill from New York in 1908 as stated at the bottom of the postcard.
