An oval vignette shows a cottage and path at sunset, framed by blue-and-white ornament and peacock feathers. Below, the printed motto reads "Accept the Gift Affection sends." The cottage is a generic sentimental scene, and the ornamental greeting style fits the early twentieth-century vogue for motto postcards.
