About this postcard

A single large pink rose with a bud, green leaves, and a blue ribbon bow fills the card against a stippled background. The printed greeting names Walton, N.Y., a Delaware County village in the Delaware River valley that was known in this period for dairy farming and railroad connections. The card reflects the early 20th-century popularity of embossed floral greetings sent as inexpensive keepsakes.
