The card shows automobiles on a paved city street in a bustling downtown. The image was created by a photographic process, but it is a collotype, not a Real Photo Post Card, as it appears. On the right at the first corner is the drugstore listed as the publisher, here Francis Drug Store. The location is described as "Imperial Valley" as well as El Centro.
