The card 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 object especially associated with the Carmelite order, while roses and lilies are traditional Marian symbols. The handwritten greeting records Easter 1921.
