- Description
- A sepia toned photographic postcard of a boy on a horse in front of a bucolic photography studio backdrop. The postcard is in a portrait orientation. The boy is seated on top of a white horse standing in profile and facing the left edge of the image. The boy is wearing a white button down shirt, a medium-toned tie, white short trousers, gloves, black knee high socks, black button boots, and a dark-toned flat cap. He is sitting bareback on the horse, holding its reins, with his face turned towards the viewer. In the background is a painted photography backdrop of a steepled building, hillside, and a wooden fence. The image has a white border that is thicker on the bottom edge. The reverse is white with black ink text. It is in a landscape orientation. The text [POST CARD] is written in outlined letters across the top. Below are sections for [CORRESPONDENCE HERE] on the left, and [NAME AND ADDRESS HERE] on the right divided by a short vertical line down the center. At the top right is an AZO stamp box.
