The recto is a full-page engraving of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos with a highly decorative border, and the bottom half of the verso is an engraving of the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos and its plaza. The text on the verso is comprised mostly of prayers from the point of view of a pilgrim to the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos. It includes an act of contrition and praises for various miracles performed by the Virgin. It concludes with a short history of the basilica and its annual festival. Possibly a souvenir from the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos.
