A group of boys pose with a goat-drawn cart on a Waltham, Massachusetts, street. Some wear sailor suits; others wear miniature military uniforms with hats and rifles. One boy sits in the cart holding the reins, an American flag is displayed, and a child in striped stockings sits beside him. The costumes, flag, and front inscription point to a Fourth of July parade.
Real photo postcard with white border; handwritten "Waltham Mass. July 4th / 807" along the bottom front and "Cranuck St # 57" written vertically at the right front edge; some surface wear and light stains.
No postmark, address, or message — the back is entirely blank apart from the printed heading. Divided-back card with 'POST CARD' / 'CORRESPONDENCE IN THIS SPACE' / 'FOR ADDRESS ONLY' and a ship-illustrated stamp box reading 'Place 1-Cent Stamp Here'. Sepia-toned real-photo card with a white border; light soiling, foxing and a few stains on the back.
