Collectibles : Paper, Postcards : Postcards : Holiday : Valentine's Day

 

Two beautiful, young Victorian ladies meet 'Over the Garden Wall' on this "To My Valentine" card. They have the soft, delicate features so typical of ladies shown in illustrations from books, ads, and magazines from the turn-of-the-century. The dresses are a pale blue and are adorned with 'velvet' trim and frilly lace ruffles. The lady over the wall has a dress with tiny, pal-pink flowers and wears a ribbon choker and a ruffled bonnet. The lady in the foreground waters her daisies.

This card was not postally used. Printed in Germany. It has a Gottschalk, Dreyfuss and Davis (London, Munich, New York) trademark and is identified as #2017. Inked message and name in address field. In good/very good condition with minimal edge and minor corner wear and rounding, except for missing piece of the lower righthand corner. The green on the gilded border at that corner is from the printing process. Please visit me again!

A charming addition for your collection or displayed in a frame in your home or given as a gift. Shipping for this item is $1.50 to U.S. addresses; slightly more for other locations.
