Notes
A wintery scene occupies the entire front of the card.  Two boys climb a large, barren tree while three other children play in the snow below.  They may be at the edge of a forest.  The silhouettes of buildings and another person are visible in the distance.  A rhyming verse by Frederick Langbridge is written on the back.
