The image shows the crowned Madonna and Child holding brown scapulars, with a spray of roses and lilies at the upper left. The scapular is a Catholic devotional badge associated with the Carmelite order and devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel; roses and lilies are traditional Marian symbols. A handwritten note from L. A. Boyne to Margaret E. Fagan turns the devotional picture into a personal Easter greeting, with a short verse wishing her a happy Easter.
