Four siblings pose outdoors for their photograph in what appears to be a rural setting. Written on the postcard's verso are the children's names: Grace, Cecil, Margett and Chester (not necessarily left to right). The quilt draped on the chair is probably the back side of mother's quilt. The back side reveals an excellent example of fan quilting, also known as elbow quilting.
