About this postcard

A snow-covered woodland clearing with bare deciduous trees, a rough split-rail fence and gate at left, and a large leaning tree trunk at right. A faint figure stands near the fence line in the middle distance. Harold's message gives the quiet winter scene a practical purpose: he mentions a new rifle and urges the recipient to come down so they can go out hunting.
