"Greetings From Portsmouth, O." written in gold cursive script. A vase of white flowers is behind it on the left and on the right is a circular image of a windmill and flowers done in water color.
On the left: several red and pink roses.
On the right: a black and white image of the Grand Opera House was located at 404 Chillicothe Street. The building was built in 1895. A fire damaged it in 1914 and it never reopened as an opera house, but was rebuilt and known for many years as the Kresge Store.
Black and white photo image of Julia Marlowe, a famous actress who was born in England but grew up in Portsmouth. Her original name was Sarah Frances Frost but was changed to Julia Marlowe due to better stage appeal. She rose to fame in the late 1800's and early 1900's, even claiming the titles of the "First Lady of The American Stage" and "World's Greatest Shakespearean Actress."
The typed words by the photo proclaim "When as a girl she lived in this city at No. 167 West Front Street."
