Features a bold, rich illustration of a single Red Carnation (likely intended to be a deep red rose or a carnation) on a textured, grey-green background. The flowers and leaves are heavily outlined in a manner typical of early 20th-century printing. The background features a striking shimmery, metallic green finish, indicating the use of gold or metallic powders in the printing process (Gilding).
