This is a vintage stereo card, featuring a photograph of a diminutive couple seated in a chair against a simple studio backdrop. The image is sepia-toned and has a weathered appearance, indicating its age.

The left side of the card has the text "Gen'l Tom Thumb & Party" in an upright, serif font, while the right side displays "The Lilliputian Series" in a similarly styled font. At the bottom center, the text "2213. The Fairy Couple." is visible.
