My sister gave me this last month, it's a C.T. Art Colortone of Chicago, published by Frank E. Cooper in New York. There's no date or copyright information on it, but the stamp square calls for a one-cent stamp, which puts it prior to 1952, which is when the post card rates went from one cent to two.
It looks like a hand-drawn illustration, but close examination of the original shows it to be more like it's a colored photograph. It may date from the early 1930's, when Jones Beach State Park first opened.

I think I did pretty good with the re-creation, except for the elevation; if I were standing on the roof of the one-story snack bar building directly behind me, I'd have the perspective correct.
Oh, yeah, and maybe there could be a few people walking along the promenade.
Details.

Am surprised to hear that you could not manage to summit the roof of a ONE-story building for the sake of a shot. When did you mature? (jk)
Srsly, nicely done pairing. Wonder what those low, white, windowed buildings are right in front of the tower base on the postcard?
Buses.
