A black-and-white horizontal photograph, formatted as a postcard, shows a group of children and nurses in the Little Jim Ward of San Francisco Children's Hospital. In the center, a child sits in a high-set metal hospital bed, looking toward the camera. Several other children are positioned around the bed: one child sits on the floor in the foreground, to the left another sits in a white wooden chair wearing leg braces, and two children stand, one with crutches, on the right side. Two nurses in white uniforms and traditional nursing caps are positioned behind the children. To the far right, a dark wooden cabinet or radio sits against the wall. The room is filled with natural light from a row of large windows in the background. The photograph is mounted on a light-colored card with a color calibration scale and a metric ruler visible along the bottom edge.
