A charming depiction of a young Norwegian boy and girl in traditional dress, known as 'Bunad'. They stand in a quintessential Norwegian landscape of mountains and water. The boy, holding a large wooden hay rake, smiles confidently while the girl, carrying a woven basket, looks on. The simple caption 'OSTER' is printed at the top.

This is an artist-signed postcard, with the monogram 'GW' of Gunnar Wefring (1900-1981) visible in the bottom right corner. Wefring was a prolific illustrator celebrated for his depictions of Norwegian folk life and traditional attire. This card is part of the 'Norske Bunadkort' (Norwegian Costume Card) series, identified on the reverse as number 30.

Printed in the mid-20th century, this card features a standard divided back and remains in superb, unwritten, and unposted condition. It is a wonderful example of its type, perfect for collectors interested in Scandinavian culture, national costumes, or the popular work of Gunnar Wefring.
