A spray of pink and red roses frames a small oval vignette of a red-roofed cottage set in green fields beneath a blue sky with white clouds, with "Best Wishes" printed at the lower right. Pairing a bouquet with a tiny countryside view let the sender offer a bit of scenery along with the greeting, a common formula for everyday cards in the early 1900s.
