Two children in Dutch costume and wooden shoes walk arm in arm through a grassy field, while a third child sits on a rail fence and a windmill rises behind them. The printed greeting reads "A Loving Thought." Dutch genre scenes like this were common on early twentieth-century postcards, where windmills, klompen, and traditional dress stood for an idealized rural Holland.
Printed gold script greeting (“A Loving Thought.”); handwritten inscription “from Louis” at lower right; printed artist signature beneath caption (reading uncertain); thin white margin; light edge wear.
Postmark: fragmentary ...SBUR/G... MASS. 8-30A 19 07. Undivided back with printed "THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS."; 1¢ green Franklin adhesive stamp; heavy foxing/toning on cream stock.
