Text on reverse of card reads:

“In ancient Egypt the opulent class was numerous, and took a pride in having its houses handsomely furnished. Elegant chairs, with or without arms, fauteuils, sofas, ottomans, and low stools of various kinds garnished the Egyptian reception rooms. Tables, either round, square or oblong, some times delicately inlaid with ivory or with rare woods, were essential to the completeness of an apartment.
The sleeping apartments had beds or couches with toilet-tables. chairs, wardrobes and wooden head rests of a peculiar fashion.”
