A photo of three fellows who have flopped down on the lawn, doffed their hats, and quaffed their drinks. Notice, among other interesting details, the lawn mower on the porch and the dog lying in the grass.
This is an unused real photo postcard, and the type of Azo stamp box (with four corner triangles pointing up) printed on the other side suggests a possible date that may be as early as 1904 to 1918.

Handwritten message on the back of this real photo postcard (no date, address, stamp, or postmark): "Dear Cousin Minnie, Here is a picture of our little home with Art and I in the picture. Hoping you are all well. With love, Cousin Jennie McCandless."
That's Jennie sitting on the porch steps while Art pretends to mow the lawn.
