A smiling young woman in a white chemise sits on a floral carpet pulling on a dark stocking, viewed through an ornate keyhole opening. Behind her are a wooden chest of drawers, a mirror-topped dresser set, and red patterned wallpaper. The caption "A Tight Squeeze" puns on the cramped keyhole view and the snug garment, a mild double-entendre common in early twentieth-century comic postcards.
