Each card depicts an author (e.g., "Robert Frost") with the name of a work at top (e.g., "Mountain Interval"), the author's signature, when and where the author was born, and a card number (e.g., "2"). The card backs depict a woman (gray top, white collar, short black dress, brown hair) sitting in a red/black/gray flower-patterned chair, reading a book, with a tall floor lamp casting light on the book.
