Front shows a small boy reading from an open book while perched on a limb of a tree. Two white birds are "sitting" on their tails with their feet raised as if paying homage to what the boy is reading. A quill is in an ink jar dangling on a twig below the boy.
One side of the card shows a black and white caricature of a crying baby holding a cat by its tail. The baby is sitting up, its eyes closed tightly in pain, dripping large tears, with its mouth wide open, bawling. The baby's left hand holds tha cat's tail, but we see only its tail and hind legs. Above the baby is printed, "The Prince of Wails," and underneath is, "Minard's Liniment, King of Pain." The other side of the card bears the text.
Front of card depicts a nude infant playing a guitar. It is sitting on the ground with foliage behind. Next to the infant sits a bowl with cookies in it, some spilled on the ground.
