Abstract:
Postcard featuring a color illustration of some nurses and patients, along with a visiting soldier in a hospital room. The nurses are wearing white aprons, white headcloths, and red shawls. One nurse is holding a piece of paper in her hand. Another nurse is leaning over a patient. The patients, who are resting in beds in a row along the wall, are wearing white shirts. The soldier, dressed in a military uniform with a hat, is visiting a patient whose head is bandaged. There are portraits and windows on the wall. On a table in the foreground there is a basin along with a box and two bars of Lifebuoy Soap.
