A vast flock of white and gray pigeons covers the ground, nesting boxes and the long shed of a commercial pigeon farm, with bare hills in the background. The printed caption names it simply as a pigeon farm near Los Angeles. Such squab ranches supplied the live-poultry and squab trade that flourished around Los Angeles in the early twentieth century, when the region's mild climate supported large outdoor pigeon colonies.
Thin white margin along the edges; visible linen-like texture and slightly grainy color printing.
No postmark, address, or message — back is entirely blank. Divided-back card with ornate "POST CARD" heading, "MESSAGE"/"ADDRESS" labels and a stamp box reading "DOMESTIC: ONE CENT / FOREIGN: TWO CENTS"; light soiling and toning, minor wear at corners.
