Lovely, lovely image in one of the much loved collector sub-genres of vintage picture postcards, the "fortune teller." Like "paper moon" images, they are just so evocative of the romanticized era :) We certainly love them.
Very nice condition. The border along the left edge is quite narrow, not, as far as we can tell, due to the card being mis-trimmed, but rather due to the print being mis-aligned on the card stock. The card itself is of the appropriate width. Makes us think about the way we sometimes long for that golden time when things were carefully hand-made before this modern era of cheap plastic mass-production and planned obsolescence, while in those early days of industrial manufacture, those involved certainly looked forward to the bright promise of a perfectly calibrated future. Reminds us of the tailor son in law in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof," who, on receiving his first sewing machine, rhapsodizes, "No more hand-made clothes!" :)

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.
