Colored eggs ride in and fall out of the wagon in blue, green purple and yellow. Text in black: "I'm eggsceeding the limit of speed to eggspress Best wishes for Easter to someone - now guess." On the back there is a short dividing line above which are crossed laurel branches and the text: Post Card, Whitney Made Worcester Mass.
