Sepia-toned real photo print, no white border; scattered dark spots and blemishes on the surface, light corner wear, faint crease at upper left.
No postmark or cancellation readable; 1-cent green Franklin stamp uncancelled. Undivided back ('THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS'), 'ATLANTIC CITY SOUVENIR' imprint. Heavy orange staining across the card and a large black ink blot obscuring the end of the street line; pencil dealer mark 'D59' at top left. Real-photo (sepia) card with white border.
