This mid-century view features the elegant domed Bird House at the Detroit Zoological Park in Royal Oak. The back of the card highlights that this "beautiful Bird House exhibits 500 birds from all climes in a brilliant display of colors." The scene is beautifully composed with a vibrant bed of tulips in the foreground and a rustic gazebo to the side, capturing the peaceful, garden-like atmosphere that the Detroit Zoo pioneered in the United States.
