An Art Nouveau illustration of a woman in a large plumed hat and off-the-shoulder gown, posed among tall flowering stalks and curving green stems against a pale blue ground. The figure is decorative rather than documentary, a common formula for early 1900s floral greeting cards that carried a place name instead of a local view. The printed greeting names Lynchburg, Virginia, then a Piedmont tobacco and shoe-manufacturing city on the James River.
Undivided-back era card with handwriting on the front; heavy foxing and staining across the light background, worn edges, no white border.
Undivided back printed "POST CARD / THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS"; 1¢ green Franklin stamp cancelled by wavy machine bars only — no readable postmark text. Light toning and edge wear.
