A small spray of pale blue and white blossoms with slender green leaves is tied with a long blue ribbon, set against a plain tan-gold background. The design is a typical turn-of-the-century decorative floral card, the kind printed for greeting, name-day, or correspondence use rather than as a view card. No caption, publisher line, or place name appears on the picture side.
