A long row of men and women in 1930s–40s attire stand on a marked shuffleboard court, cues in hand, while a crowd of spectators sits along benches at the right; palm trees, an American flag on a pole, a red-roofed building and a lattice tower rise behind. Shuffleboard was a signature winter pastime at Florida resorts and municipal parks from the 1920s through the 1950s, and the caption presents the scene as a typical Florida leisure activity. The card is a linen-textured view of the sort mass-produced for the tourist trade.
