Lovely RPPC of three children in the garden, Minor wear to edges and corners. We love the fashion of gardens and, for that matter, yards, in the early 1900s. The overgrown look! I remember seeing one of those "beautify your home" shows a few years ago in which they were dealing with a lovely old Arts and Crafts bungalow from the 1910s and ended by cutting away the small trees, hedges and shrubs that practically covered the place, so people could "see the home's beauty!" Just an idea, but those homes, constructed prior to most air conditioning, were drawn by the architects as being surrounded by beautiful greenery. It kept them warm in Winter, and cool in Summer, and just looks right! When the experts had cut away the shrubbery, the poor old bungalow looked naked. Beautifully crafted, but still naked.
Wait...did we go a little off subject? :) A wonderful time machine of a card. The young lady is very clearly the proud and happy queen of all she surveys.
