A: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of paper with an embossed decorative boarder around all four edges. The embossed boarder can be seen on the front and verso. On the front there is an artist's easel holding an image. The image is a landscape with a creek and bridge in the foreground, a house in the middle ground and trees and a sunlit sky in the background. The easel and image take up approximately one—third (1/3) of the card and is situated to the proper right. Written horizontally across the card in black ink is the name: "Carrie A. Benfer". The name is written in script and is located just below center vertically. The "C" in "Carrie" overlaps the lower proper left corner of the landscape image. In the upper proper left corner there is an image of a curtain hanging from a rod containing the text: "There is nothing but death, / Our affections can serve — / And til lifes latest breath / Love shall bind us forever!" The Verso is blank.
B: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of paper. Verso is blank, white paper. Front has a brown—gold boarder around a white section that is decorated. The upper proper left edge of the white section is drawn to appear as though a corner is folded down. The proper right side of the white area is drawn as to appear as though there is a tear that is folded back on both sides revealing a landscape. The landscape has a fence on green land with a few trees in the foreground, and a waterway and more green land in the background. Around and behind the "ripped" area of the white section there is a blossoming plant that extends up and over towards the center of the upper edge of the card. The plant has a brown and green stock, leaves shaded with green, orange and yellow and pink flowers. Below the pink flowers and approximately center on the card, is blue text written in cursive reading: "I cannot come to greet thee / So take this sweet bouquet / And let it be a token / That I am xxxx for aye!". Decorative black text reads: "Edith Cook". The name over laps the message in blue and begins at the "be" in the third line".
C: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of white paper. There is an embossed decorative boarder consisting of a flower and a pair of leaves in each corner with in a webbed background and an oval of various sized circles. The embossed decorative boarder is visible on both sides. On the front there is black, decorative cursive writing that reads: "Charley C. Richart." Verso is blank.
D: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of paper. Near each corner there is a half circle cut out creating four decorative corners. Towards the upper proper right corner of the front there is a round piece of white paper with a decorative boarder attached to the card. Black, printed text on the round piece of white paper reads: "Accept / & Keep." Approximately center vertically and starting approximately center horizontally, there is black, decorative cursive writing that reads: "Elmer E. Sutton". Verso is blank.
E: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of paper. Edges are decoratively cut in a series of bumps and points. There is black, decorative cursive writing located approximately center that reads: "G. W. Harger". Verso is blank.
F: Horizontally orientated, rectangular piece of paper. Edges are scalloped. There is a brown—gold boarder that mimics the scalloped edges. Located at center is a white oval section with a solid brown—gold edge and a brown—gold scalloped line. Located approximately center within the oval is black, decorative cursive writing that reads: "Lewis H. Benson." Around the oval and within the scalloped boarder is a floral design on a grey background consisting of green leaves and stocks, white flowers and pink flowers. Verso is blank.
