About this postcard

A birthday greeting card showing a brown wooden lattice or trellis entwined with pink chrysanthemum-like flowers, framing the printed words “Happy Birthday” and a four-line verse. The design is typical of early twentieth-century chromolithographed greeting postcards, which combined decorative floral borders with sentimental rhymes.
