A lone figure in a dark cloak and red headscarf picks her way along a rutted sandy track through the blooming Dutch heathland — scrubby purple heather, wind-bent pines, and a thatched peat-cutter's hut framing this gentle tinted scene of rural Brabant or Drenthe at the very turn of the twentieth century, when the wild heath was already becoming a romanticized subject for postcard artists and painters alike. Published as a "Briefkaart" under the Algemeene Postvereeniging (Universal Postal Union) framework, this undivided-style back with only three address lines dates the card to the earliest era of Dutch postcard production.
