Antique & Vintage Postcards

An hourglass stands at the center of this richly embossed Whitney-made greeting card, its golden sand marking the passage of one year into the next — pink wild roses cascade above and below, framing a golden full moon in a composition that perfectly captures the Edwardian obsession with time, luck, and floral sentiment. The verse reads: "May the New Year hold for you Good things old, and joys new." Printed in the USA by Whitney Made of Worcester, Massachusetts, one of the most prolific American greeting card publishers of the early twentieth century, this unused card retains its bright colors and crisp embossing with no writing on either side.
