There are industrial type buildings, presumably warehouses or factories, near the canal with smaller buildings and utility poles scattered on the tree-covered, grassy land on both sides of the canal. The scene is set against the backdrop of far-away hills and a celestial body, sun or moon, in the top left corner of the sky; Written message in blank space at bottom of card [handwritten] (Dear Mother: All well, will write soon, yours Anna.); Printing information: series number (No. 1); ( [indiscernible] G, 8 NOV; CO.
