Abstract:
Postcard featuring a color illustration of three small children and a nurse (nanny) in a children's room with a bed and a fireplace. The children are all in white smocked nightgowns with dark ash spots and some on their faces. A toddler is looking inside the fireplace and two children are standing in front of the nanny, looking shamefaced. The nanny in a dark dress with a white apron looks surprised and concerned. There is a bucket of ashes spilled next to the children.
