A postcard sent in Galicia, with ruling for the address, on the reverse there is a black and white reprint of a drawing depicting a caricature of a Jewish rabbi. The addressee's details in Tarnów are written in ink on the side with ruling, and two postmarks are also visible ("Kraków" and "Tarnów"). The picture with the inscription "Der Rabbiner" (German: "The Rabbi") is caricatured and ridiculed. It depicts a Jewish man wearing glasses, with a gray beard, with his head covered, wearing a long ankle-length coat, holding the Talmud in his hand, which he points at with the finger of his other hand. The publishing address is printed in red font next to the image: "Verlag: U. Baasch, Plauen i V." At the bottom of the picture, in a blank space, is the content of the correspondence.
