The black and white vintage postcard depicts an Italian garden viewed from a building's approach in what appears to be New York's Highcourt Zoological Park. The foreground shows meticulously arranged boxwood hedges forming geometric patterns with pathways leading through them, suggesting formality and design typically found in classical gardens. In the background stands a stately neoclassical structure, possibly part of an institutional or governmental building given its style and scale. Surrounding trees are tall but sparse, indicating either early spring before dense foliage has appeared or late fall after leaves have fallen. The postcard's text identifies it as "No. 3629 D., View Of Italian Garden" at the top left corner with additional descriptive wording in smaller print along the right edge and bottom section of the card.
