Early 1900’s Rose Postcards
If you’re here, then you probably love roses as much as I do, in which case you might appreciate the beauty of these postcards I recently acquired (gotta love Ebay) dating back to 1909. Aren’t they beautiful? When I showed them to my daughter, she exclaimed excitedly, “They were written in the time of Downton Abbey!” She gets it. 🙂 I’m not sure which roses these are supposed to be, specifically. They may just be stylized, but wouldn’t it be neat to find out if the artist was drawing from a rose in his/her own garden? What do you think?
They are beautiful! Wouldn’t they be nice in mass framed, or maybe a triptych? Please let us out here know what their final outcome is inclusive of your wonderful photography!
All the best,

Thank you Cydney! That is a great idea!
You have Mosley’s award winning roses in your home!
Anabel, you’ll have to educate me…what are “Mosley’s award winning roses?” I only know of the contemporary artist Walter Mosley. Is that who you are referring to?
Oh, sorry, I was referring to the flower show episode Downton Abbey.
Oh my gosh duh! Of course! I don’t know why I didn’t put that together…I’ve only seen that series a bazillion times. Silly me. 😉
What wonderful cards. I never thought to look for these on ebay! I have friends that make their own note cards for gifts with their rose pictures on the cover. Why use anything else??
I agree…what a great idea!
