This postcard is a bit of a detour from the numerous (but just as beautiful) birthday greetings with flowers. These lilies and forget-me-nots have come in a pretty robin’s egg blue box that was tied up with a yellow ribbon. The understated striped background might remind you of an old wallpaper pattern. The card is embossed, and has gold tone highlights, and the back was addressed to Elsie Stumpf [?] Her last name is a bit difficult to read, and there are some other possible variations of the last name, but online records do show various entries under Elsie Stumpf.

Divided back, embossed, unused postcard with gel finish. Printed in Germany. Series 381. The publisher logo shows a shield with a tree surrounded by the initials A. S. or possibly A. S. B. Circa 1907-1915.
