A tinted photographic scene shows a smiling young woman in a long white dress and hat waving her hand, arm in arm with a man in a dark suit, tie and straw boater who carries a suitcase at his side; they stand in a grassy field with low hills and a rustic wooden post behind them. The printed line "Back again." turns the picture into a light-hearted homecoming or holiday-return greeting, a common genre of early twentieth-century comic and greeting postcards.
