language: English
description: Postcard of a young boy and girl dressed in traditional Mexican
 costumes. The children are standing on a woven rug with a traditional Mexican
 motif woven into it; two more hang side by side behind them. The boy, who is
 standing on the left-hand side of the image and facing the girl on the right,
 is wearing shiny black shoes, a billowy white shirt, and fitted black pants
 with a scroll design piped up each leg. He is also wearing a wide satin sash,
 a fitted vest that is decorated with traditional motifs, a scarf around his
 neck, and a wide brimmed hat. The girl is wearing a full high-waist skirt that
 has sparkly designs sewn onto it, a small white shirt with a motif design on
 the front, and a scarf that forms a sash and a vest. The girl is also wearing
 a flower headband in her hair, which is bobbed. Along with postcard stamps,
 there is a handwritten note on the back of the image.
