Two Winter Beauties Edwardian Woman Fur Muff Rose Fashion Postcard 1909
1909Pre-linenGood
Chromolithograph fashion postcard titled "Two Winter Beauties," no. 5543, depicting an elegant Edwardian woman in a dark winter coat with puffed sleeves, a large feathered hat, white fur muff, and white scarf, holding a pink rose. The soft pastel-grey background gives the image a dreamy quality. Despite the "Two" in the title, only one figure is clearly visible — likely one of two cards in the series. Posted Faribault [?], Minnesota, February 25, 1909 → Miss Rema Lofstedt, Holdingford, Minnesota, R.F.D. #1, Box 101. Franked with US 1¢ Franklin green stamp (Scott 300, Series 1902). Message from "Clara" to her sister: a warm, newsy note saying she is well, thanks her sister for a lovely postal, and plans to visit Holdingford soon.
