This is a scanned image of the back side of what appears to be a vintage card or photograph. The card's background is a plain light brown or tan color consistent with old paper products. Handwritten text in black ink at the top of the card reads, "Santa Barbara Exhibit June 1893." Below this text, two names are written: "Sprague" is written with a slight slant, and "Miss Strassmann" appears below it in a different handwriting style, likely signifying either the name of individuals associated with the card or possibly the recipients. The handwriting is cursive and somewhat elegant, which is characteristic of the penmanship style from the late 19th century when the date suggests this card might have been written.
