The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "A hand-colored photographic greetings card, of a type produced extensively throughout Europe in c. 1905 – c. 1940. The styles have 'dated' badly; viewers in a later time perceive them as comic; the men seem effete and stiffly formal, and the occasionally heavily made-up or re-touched male figures appear to be stereotypical 'queens'."
