Front: Colour picture – Mimico Branch Asylum in the early 1900s. To the left of the image are dark, bushy trees and a green, manicured lawn. To the right of the image is a large shrub that covers part of a large red brick building with peaks and many windows. The lawn features several small flower beds and a light tan stone or dirt walkway. At the end of the walkway, what looks to be a human figure can be seen, possibly a statue. In the upper left of the postcard, printed over the trees, text on the image reads: “Grounds and Office. Mimico Asylum, Toronto, Canada.” In the lower right corner is the identifying code “104 071” and in a small circle the letters “JV.”

Two postmarks are visible on the front. Both are oriented so that the circle is towards the center and the wavy lines are between the circle and the edge of the card. In the upper right, the dark postmark ink partially covers the roof of the building. Towards the lower left, over the lawn, the postmark ink is very faded.

Back: Divided back. Some printed text identifies the maker as Valentine & Sons Publishing. Handwritten text in black ink addresses the card to Miss L. Smith, with a note from Bessie. It is postmarked July 12, 1910 in Toronto, Ontario at 8pm. It bears an upside down 1903 King Edward VII 3/4 profile 1 cent stamp.
