View Two Dachshund Puppies in Basket German Art Postcard Cute Dogs with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. An irresistibly charming early 20th-century illustrated postcard featuring  two dachshund puppies  sitting side by side in a woven basket, their floppy ears and expressive faces perfectly capturing the beloved character of the breed. A small tag reading “Express” hangs from the basket, adding a playful, whimsical touch that was popular in novelty and animal postcards of the period. This postcard was issued as part of the  German American Novelty Art Series  and was  printed in Germany , a country renowned in the early 1900s for producing some of the highest-quality chromolithograph postcards in the world. German printers were especially admired for their rich colors, fine detail, and lifelike animal imagery, making postcards like this highly desirable during the height of the postcard craze (circa 1905–1915). Dachshunds—often referred to as “sausage dogs”—were particularly popular subjects at the time, symbolizing loyalty, humor, and companionship. Animal postcards were commonly sent as cheerful greetings or collected in albums, especially those featuring puppies and sentimental themes. The reverse features an  undivided back , marked “POST CARD – For Address Only,” along with a stamp box indicating U.S. and Canadian one-cent postage, helping date the card to the early 1900s. The card is unused, suggesting it was preserved for its decorative appeal.
