Romantic 1908 Spooning Couple 'Proposal' Embossed Valentine Postcard~SILK Clothing! Made in Germany

Postcards : Romantic

 

Beautiful embossed 1908 postcard with romantic 'spooning' couple stopped in an idyllic field of flowers, he appearing to propose as he hands her a lovely posey to add to her bouquet. The artwork is superb, with vivid color and details. Her overskirt is layered rose pink Silk fabric over a tan underskirt and white bodice (tiny bit of wear to the bottom edge hem of the Silk, visible under magnification). Most Silk overlaid ladies clothing on postcards of the pre-1910 era are found in shades of deep red, blue or green; pink and lavender Silks are rare. Printed in Germany, with the word 'Postcard' on the reverse in 14 languages including Cyruliian, covering the entire European market. The card is in Excellent condition, posted in February 1908 in Eastwood Ohio. Stamp intact. The romantic message on the verso is written in reverse and must be read in a mirror, just as the Dwig postcards of the same era! A wonderful card to frame, this would also be a superb engagement or wedding gift.
