Description
A printed cut-out paper model of an ambulance is shown with separate wheels and assembly pieces arranged around it. The vehicle is decorated with red cross symbols and labeled parts, with instructions printed on the front. The design has a vintage toy or craft-sheet look rather than a photographic scene. The card is from the early 1900s, likely 1900s.
