Lilac blossoms and geese before a cottage, greeting postcard, circa 1907

About this postcard

A chromolithographed greeting design: sprays of purple lilac in the foreground, a pond with white geese and a grassy path behind, and a small red-roofed cottage among trees in the distance, all framed by a chain-link arch of white beads against a pale blue sky. The card is a general-purpose "Hearty Greetings" sentiment rather than a view of a specific place, typical of the floral-and-scenery greetings that dominated the undivided-back era. A small copyright mark is printed at the lower left corner.
