Real photo postcard showing a barefoot boy posed in the street, holding up a small object toward the camera. Divided-back postcard format.
The boy wears a cap, short jacket, and suspenders over light trousers. Behind him is a broad street with a horse-drawn cart and other figures in the distance, with building facades and a long fence line receding along the roadway. The image is labeled “WAXLIGHTS?” in the lower corner.
The front bears the printed text: WAXLIGHTS?. The reverse reads: POST CARD. For Inland use only. INLAND. Handwritten inscriptions read: I can just manage to get those gloves on. Your stitching so nice; 7/12/06.
