A young girl in a large bonnet stands among white daisies against a cream background. She holds a dark object, perhaps a flower or a lock of hair, near her face. The image is a sentimental portrait of the kind common on early twentieth-century postcards, when children and flowers were popular subjects. The sender's note asks the recipient to come up before long and mentions being out of work the week before.
