The back of this unsent card has a single word written on the first address line. Aside from that, it is a good example of an early postcard back with only a return address allowed in the left panel (later a larger message panel). In March of 1907 postal regulations changed to allow messages on this address side, but as far back as 1906 this type of postcard back was being manufactured. People would write messages into the "return-address" panel anyway. The stampbox is also typical of postcard backs at this time.
