The image on the front of this souvenir card showcases the rich agricultural landscape, with rolling fields of ripe crops stretching towards the horizon, interspersed with quaint farmhouses and the winding course of the mighty Volga River. In the background, the rugged terrain of the Sura Mountains rises majestically, adding to the province's diverse and picturesque geography. The reverse side of the card offers a wealth of information about Penza Province, then part of the Russian Empire. A detailed map of the region is accompanied by the provincial seal, population statistics, and an illustration of the traditional costume of its inhabitants. The card also highlights the importance of agriculture in the local economy, with a focus on crops such as wheat, rye, and oats.
