He is wearing medium-toned trousers, a long sleeve shirt, and a wide brimmed hat with an open crown. White, handwritten, negative printed text that reads [NO 47-X / JESS STAHL / ON / SHARKEY / BURNS ORE 1924 / Photo by Heck]. In the background is a man on horseback on the far right. A wooden fence rail lines the arena with some men on horseback behind it. On the far left is a short tower topped with a water barrel. The reverse is white with black ink text. It is in a landscape orientation. The text [POST CARD] is written in outlined letters across the top. Below are sections for [CORRESPONDENCE] on the left, and [ADDRESS] on the right divided by a short vertical line down the center. At the top right is an AZO stamp box. There is an upside down orange circular sticker in the bottom right corner with black handwritten text that reads [897]. The postcard is blank.
