Across the right of the top in red is, "San Gabriel Valley, from Mt. Lowe, California." On the top left corner of the back is an illustration of a bear on a mountain ledge. At the center of the top is, "Mt. Lowe California / Post Card." A square box which indicates postage rates is at the top right corner. All of the printing on the back is in brown ink. With abrasions, creases, discoloration, and some surface soiling, the artifact is in good condition overall.
