A smoldering Edwardian beauty gazes pensively to the left, her auburn ringlets tumbling across bare shoulders, a single dark red rose at her décolletage — this is "May Blossom," card no. 1346, copyrighted 1905 by Ullman Manufacturing Co. of New York, one of America's leading early postcard publishers. The rich chromolithographic portrait captures the idealized feminine aesthetic of the era, reminiscent of the Gibson Girl but with a more painterly, Continental sensibility. Posted in Minneapolis on October 5 (year partially legible, ca. 1905–1906) and addressed to Miss Reany L. in Holdinford, Minnesota, the card carries a chatty, affectionate message on its back: "Hello Reany, Well how are you? I am just the same. Thought you might like to get a postal. How is your mother? Well, I been quite a good time a going to town lately. Suppose the huckleberries are a plenty around Charleston. With the kindest thoughts." The card shows significant surface wear and edge damage consistent with over a century of handling, but the image remains evocative.
