This vintage postcard features a captivating close-up of an exquisite cameo carving on a conch shell. The intricate relief work depicts a classical scene inspired by Guido Reni's painting of Aurora. Phoebus, the God of the Sun, is shown driving his chariot across the sky to herald the day, accompanied by the Goddess of the Dawn sprinkling flowers and a cupid bearing a flaming torch.
The reverse side of the postcard indicates that this remarkable carving is part of the Emma and Edgar J. Schmidt Collection and is housed at the Ralph Foster Museum, located at The School of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri. The postcard was published by H. K. Barnett of Allison Park, Pennsylvania, and is copyrighted 1976. It also notes that it was lithographed in the USA.
