DescriptionTwo women pose in the front seat of an automobile in a photography studio. The car has a suitcase strapped to a running board and a gas can attached to the car body. A pennant that reads, "Albuquerque" is over the lower passenger door. The steering wheel is on the right and two women are seated in the front seat of the car, both looking toward the camera. They are wearing long dresses with dark jackets and wide-brimmed hats. Both are wearing gloves and the woman in the passenger seat (nearest to the camera) has a small purse on her lap. A printed curtain is behind them as a studio backdrop. Handwriting in German on the back of the postcard is a message to Uncle Willy from a woman named Eugenie.
