This real photo postcard features an image of a man in western attire. He is wearing a long sleeve shirt, overalls, a hat and has two scarves around his neck and a fake mustache. He is seated and has both hands resting on top of his cane. The image is oval-shaped and the rest of the card is empty space. On the back of the postcard the word [POST CARD] is printed at the top. The words [CORRESPONDENCE] and [ADDRESS] divide the back into two sections. Text marks the spot for postage in the top right corner. The word [AZO] repeats forming a square with a triangle in each corner. The words [PLACE / STAMP / HERE] are printed inside the square. There are no inscriptions, front or back.
