About this postcard

A bouquet of blue forget-me-nots tied with a blue ribbon fills this birthday greeting, framed by a decorative border and the printed wish "Wishing you many happy Returns of the Day." Forget-me-nots were a common emblem of remembrance and affection in the early 1900s, fitting for a card sent between cousins. The sender's note adds family news: Bert is up in Millville with oysters, and Frank has gone to Philadelphia.
