This exquisite antique postcard features a vibrant bouquet of cyclamen flowers, rendered in a beautiful chromolithograph style with rich detail and a textured golden background. The delicate pink and red petals burst forth from an ornate green pot, creating a visually appealing floral display. Below the botanical illustration, a sentimental poem about friendship by Catherine Phillips adds a touch of heartfelt emotion, making this a charming piece for collectors of floral or sentimental ephemera. The card also bears a series number '3321', indicating its place within a larger collection.
The reverse of the postcard reveals a fascinating glimpse into the past, having been sent from Madison, Wisconsin, in 1908. It features a clear postmark from January 20th, 1908, along with a one-cent George Washington stamp. The handwritten message and address to "Mrs. J. E. Young" in Milton, Pennsylvania, offer a personal connection to a bygone era. This collectible postcard is a wonderful example of early 20th-century printing techniques and a delightful piece of social history, perfect for those interested in vintage correspondence, floral art, or Wisconsin and Pennsylvania history.
