We are opening up this section, "A Girl's Best Friend," temporarily, in order to display this lovely little collection of women and their horses we came across recently. This is a popular sub-genre of collectible postcards, and lots of fun. Like most "woman with horse" images we find, the cards in this section seem to be pretty much split down the middle between German cards with dark backgrounds and often a little lovely silvering at the edges, from around 1910, and brightly tinted "smart set" French cards by publishers like Leo and P-C Paris, from the 1920s. The German images seem to express an almost poetically romantic feeling, while the French ones are more brightly energetic, and would fit in well with a 1920s "flapper-esque" collection. We hope you enjoy them!
Really a lovely one. A sort of Mignon with horse and lyre! Love it!
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
Postage is for first class shipping in a secure photo mailer, and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will refund the postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of sudden increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more.
