An illustrated Florida beach scene: a woman bends to shake sand from her shoe while two children in bathing suits sit on the sand nearby. Palm trees, a striped beach umbrella, bathers on a bench, and the ocean fill the background. The scene illustrates the verse "Sand in My Shoes," a comic rhyme about Florida's blue skies, clean sand, and neat bungalows. The joke turns the state's sand into a souvenir, a familiar theme for winter visitors and beach tourists in the 1930s.
Linen (canvas) texture across the whole card; narrow white border; printed verse panel at left.
No postmark or handwriting. Undivided back with linen texture; "POST CARD" heading with private publisher imprint (Curteich, Chicago) and one-cent stamp box. Light soiling/toning on cream stock.
