Abstract:
Postcard featuring a color illustration of a young woman with a young girl dressed as a nurse. The young woman is wearing a dress with a white collar and a dark bow at the base of the collar. She is also wearing a hat, and she is sitting on a bench and holding a small jar. One of her stockings has been removed, and the young girl dressed as a nurse has her hands on the young woman's lower leg. The girl is wearing a white hat, a white apron, and a white armband with a red "M." There is a window in the room, and a winter landscape can be seen outside, in which several people are ice-skating. There is a ruler printed across the top of the postcard.
