Mama cow and baby calf seem to be giving the photographer a sideways glance as the farmer and his family hold them in place to pose for the camera. See a cropped version for a close-up of the disgruntled bovines. The decorative mask--with its stylized flowers and curled-up edges--gives the appearance of a fancy photo frame.

Stamped on the back of this real photo postcard: "H. W. Haffley, photographer, Aaronsburg, Pa." The Holstein cow in the middle of the photo pauses to glance over at the photographer as the farmer hides behind two other cows on the right.
