A photographic print of the Redwood Library's west facade, as seen from Bellevue Avenue. Large tree branches with leaves frame the building at left and right; an 1858 addition (Reading Room) is visible at left (background).
Handwritten caption beneath image reads: "Redwood Library, Newport, RI"; print is signed "Ernst." Note on reverse reads: "From Miss. Ernst to Mrs. Bara-/her Christmas card 1940." An uneven left edge suggests that the print may have been torn from a greeting card.
