Description

View Antique Birthday Postcard Forget-Me-Nots Embossed Embossed 1911 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This exquisite antique birthday postcard from the early 20th century features a poetic sentiment surrounded by a delicate border of blue forget-me-not flowers. The typography uses a charming medieval-inspired Gothic script with illuminated-style capital letters in red and blue, set against a soft yellow parchment-style background. The floral elements are beautifully embossed, providing a tactile and three-dimensional quality characteristic of high-quality lithography from the Golden Age of Postcards. Produced by V.A.F. Co. as part of their Series 101 A, this card exemplifies the Edwardian era's preference for sentimental floral motifs and fine printing techniques. The reverse side features a divided back with a postmark from Lovilia, Iowa, dated April 20, 1911, and a one-cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp. This piece is a wonderful example of period ephemera, perfect for collectors of floral greetings, vintage typography, or early 1900s social history. Condition: Used.
