Original antique undivided-back postcard featuring a charming portrait of a young girl seated on seaside rocks wearing a bonnet, striped stockings, and period clothing. The card has a warm sepia tone and retains its original handwritten correspondence, 1¢ Benjamin Franklin stamp, and postal cancellation. Early undivided-back postcards such as this were produced during the first decade of the twentieth century and remain highly collectible for their artwork, postal history, and nostalgic subject matter. A wonderful addition to collections of antique children, seaside scenes, Edwardian postcards, or early American postal history.
The sender writes to a friend, wondering why they have not written recently. They mention being lonely, hoping the recipient is well, asking them to write soon, and noting they received a letter from someone named Florence. The message has the tone of a friendly personal update.
