About this postcard

The card shows a cluster of ivy leaves in green, red, and white around the friendship motto “Like to the Ivy true friends indeed, Cling closest in the Time of Need.” Ivy was a common symbol of steadfast friendship on early twentieth-century greeting postcards. The design is set against a vertical yellow-striped background with blue ornamental panels.
