Front: Real Picture Post Card, Black and White Photograph. Approximately 47 men stand facing the camera in formation, legs spread and hands on their hips. They wear dark pants, white shoes, and either white t-shirts or undershirts. At the far left of the image, a man stands at attention in profile. He wears dark pants, dark shoes, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a thick belt. The area around the men is empty, likely dirt or low grass, with no defining features. In the background, at least a half dozen low buildings with prominent chimneys can be seen.
Back: Divided back, does not feature line separating sides. Text across the top reads “POST CARD” in outlined block letters. Underneath reads “MADE IN CANADA”, and below that, separated by a long space are the words “CORRESPONDENCE” and “ADDRESS”. To the right is a stamp box. The stamp box does not feature an outline, but consists of the letters “AZO” forming a border on the tops and sides. The corners of the border are marked with small symbols, possibly squares. The centre of the stamp box reads “PLACE STAMP HERE”. There are no additional decorations. A handwritten (cursive) note in black ink reads: “P.T. Course at Long Branch Ont.”
