Done by sculptor Nellie V. Walker, the statue stands in front of the limestone bas relief depicting the Thomas Lincoln family with an ox-drawn car traveling from their Indiana home to Illinois in March of 1830. The postcard reverse is divided. A stamp in red ink reading "Photo by Robert C. Finnegan" is at the middle along the bottom edge.
