Antique floral greetings post card
Circa 1909
Postmarks Canton and McPherson, Kansas

This art nouveau-inspired beauty features a bouquet of forget-me-not flowers, hand colored with airbrush strokes of yellow and blue.

Heavily embossed cards without a backing layer make for bumpy writing. This sender managed very well, not a single blob fell from her fountain pen, but she felt the need to mention that it was messing with her flow. . . .

June 15 1909    Dear Olga —

Your lovely card received some-time ago,
was very glad to hear of you having a nice time while up there.
(I just can't write on this old card) We are all well + hope you are too.
Are you having plenty of rain up there! We are having more than enough.
I saw Maybelle H.— Sat. before last in Canton. I think it is about time for you
to come home for it seems lonesome with you away up there.

Lovingly, Mrs. P.T.R.
Beware of the hammock or you might get hurt.
