The black and white photograph depicts a tranquil scene of nature with lush trees surrounding still waters likely from the Bronx River in the vicinity of Bronx Park within New York City. There are several large tree trunks visible at various distances across the water, creating an impressionistic view that suggests depth into the park landscape. In the foreground on the left side, there appears to be a small cluster of people or figures near what seems like a dock or wooden platform extending over the riverbank. The grass and shrubbery are dense around this area, adding texture to the lower part of the image.

The sky is partly cloudy but allows enough light that highlights some areas of foliage above. Notably absent from the photograph's composition are any modern structures such as buildings, which could have been expected in a city park setting like Bronx Park in New York City. The absence suggests an older time period when urban parks were more naturalistic.

A text caption at the bottom left corner reads "Bronx River, Bronx Park, N.Y. City," indicating that this photograph captures a specific geographical location within New York's metropolitan area and dating it to likely be from a historical perspective rather than contemporary times due to its black-and-white format and style of presentation.

The card bears handwritten text at the bottom: "Dear Mrs., Thank you very much," followed by signatures that are partially obscured, presumably indicating recipients' gratitude for something received or mentioned on an accompanying note. The signature style suggests handwriting from around 1905 to early '20th century.
