The view shows a dirt road curving through a narrow rocky cut, with steep rock walls on both sides and dense trees crowding the top. The road bends out of sight, giving the scene a sheltered, enclosed feel. A faint red stamp at the lower left reads "Quality Road / Near Marion, Ala.", identifying the location; the image is rendered in a coarse halftone with muted greens, browns, and pinks.
White border; coarse halftone dot pattern; worn edges and surface scuffs.
No postmark; unused card. Divided-back "POST CARD" heading printed in green, with a green silhouette logo of a man carrying a large card (ZIM) at left and a "QUALITY BRAND" ribbon rosette emblem in a rectangular frame in the stamp box. Faint red credit stamp at image lower left reading "Quality Road / Near Marion, Ala." Publisher imprint along left edge: Pub. by J. C. Mickleboro, Marion, Ala. Made in U. S. A.
