Antique & Vintage Postcards

Glowing with the warm hand-tinted palette of Edwardian postcard printing, this Valentine's Series card presents Windsor Castle from the sweeping meadows of Home Park — the Round Tower dominant on the right, the State Apartments stretching across the ridge, all reflected in the lush green of the park's famous grass, with a rustic fence line guiding the eye toward the ancient walls. The back bears a handwritten date — "May 25th/11" — placing this card precisely in May 1911, just weeks before the coronation of King George V in June of that year, a moment of intense national pride when Windsor images would have carried particular resonance. The undivided-style "POST CARD / Printed in Great Britain" verso with Valentine's Series imprint and space-for-communication layout is consistent with the 1902–1914 Edwardian postcard era. A dealer pencil price of "300" (likely 30¢ or £0.30) appears at upper right.
