This vintage postcard features an inspirational quote attributed to Colton, elegantly printed with a decorative red border and black text. The quote reads: "Men are born with two eyes but with one tongue in order that they may see twice as much as they say." The design shows a charming art nouveau style initial 'M' and red accent marks, typical of early 20th-century decorative printing.
Postmarked in 1907 from Pittsburg, Washington, this standard-sized postcard (5.5 x 3.5 inches) carries a 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp, adding collectible postal history interest. The postcard was copyrighted by R.L. Weiss, a known publisher of sentimental and inspirational cards during that era. An excellent example of early printed ephemera, this postcard appeals to collectors of vintage quotes, Americana, and postal history memorabilia.
