Lovely hand-tinted German romance fantasy (from the early 1920s, is our guess). The unattributed text reads:
"Shön ist die Liebe" (Beautiful is Love)
"Shön ist wohl die Zeit der Rosen
Auf dem welten Erdenrund
Shöner noch mit Dir das Kosen
Und ein Kuss von Deinem Mund
(In all the world, the time of roses
is a lovely time, I think.
But lovelier still is your caress
when from your lips, a kiss I drink.)
Okay, the English doggerel is our own loose translation from the German, but hey, we don't do crosswords and have to amuse ourselves somehow :)
If you check out the second scan, you will see that this card's left edge was a little mis-trimmed. Priced accordingly.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for 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 increases in international shipping rates 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.
