The front of the postcard features a vibrant black and white image of the horse show grounds, complete with spectators, horses, carriages, and a central pavilion. Handwritten notes from the sender are visible, adding to its historical charm. The publisher, Caldwell-Sites Co. of Staunton, Roanoke, and Bristol, Va., is noted on the right edge.

The reverse side shows a clear "POST CARD" designation. It is postmarked from "HERSVILLE, VA" on August 13, 1906, at 2 PM, and also has a "ROANOKE, VA" postmark. A one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp is affixed. The postcard is addressed to Miss Annie R. Hamilton in Roanoke, Virginia, and contains a personal message from the sender, Gertrude.
