This real photo postcard features a black and white image of a group of people in the yard of a home. Men, women and children are standing behind a wooden fence. The house is behind them. Most of the men are wearing hats and either a suit or overalls. A few men are sitting on the fence. The man and woman standing on the far right are each holding a small child in their arms. On the back of the postcard the word [POST CARD] is printed at the top. The words [CORRESPONDENCE HERE] and [NAME AND ADDRESS HERE] 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 triange in each corner. The words [PLACE / STAMP / HERE] are printed inside the square. There are no inscriptions, front or back.
