The card's scene is a photograph of a mother and five children, all girls, meeting Santa Claus and receiving gifts. Two of the children and the mother are standing, and the other three are seated at a table by a Christmas tree. Santa is dressed in a suit and has a long white beard and tall white hat. Printed in the right margin (roughly) is 'Zrulou pracujicich radostne vanoce' which seems to be a Merry Christmas greeting in Slovak.
The card is printed in black and white. The left side depicts Father Christmas looking down a chimney, shaking one finger, with a basket on his back. "Joyeaux Noel" is printed beneath him. The right side of the card is a photograph of a smiling girl, looking at the viewer, with her hands clasped in front of her and flowers around her.
