At the turn of the 20th century, this style of card, with a small photo framed by a repetitive Art Nouveau design, was very popular. This card is a very nice example, with a tipped in photographic plate of a landscape as the central piece, and a large blank area which might have been used for a message, although the sender chose to use the space reserved for this purpose on the reverse of the card. This card was posted from Arkansas in 1912 to an Arkansas address, and so provides an example of the Art Nouveau style in the United States.
******
There is a dent at the top center of the card; the price reflects this, making this quite a bargain for this lovely Art Nouveau design. With the exception of the dent, there is only minor wear of the edges and corners. 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, the price is the same as for a single 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, due to the costs of international shipping will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
