Such a sweet item. Card is *damaged* with 3 pin holes and a crease in one corner, but it was just too charming to pass up. Notice how carefully the photo was mounted from the back. Looking closely at the circular cutout, there are frayed areas at its edge, suggesting that there was another image in the card's center that was carefully removed by an inventive person to make a frame for the image, but that's just an idea.
In the U.S., we have come to think of a "souvenir" as a trinket of some kind, purchased at a site, or attraction, like the circus, or the Grand Canyon, to be taken home as a keepsake. Certainly that is one meaning, but we often come across cards with the word souvenir (which means, simply, memory), sent by one friend to another, as a "reminder" of the relationship. This card was never posted, but much loved, and tacked somewhere so it would be always seen, perhaps by one of the two girls in the photograph.

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.
