Raphael Tuck Valentine's Day Postcard Child in Tree 1911 Frances Brundage

Unsigned Frances Brundage. This charming early 20th-century Valentine's Day postcard features an illustrated young child peeking through a tree trunk, rendered with warm tones and delicate detail. The child, with bright red hair and a green bow, is dressed in a white shirt with red polka dots and is shown pointing, accompanied by a classic Valentine's poem printed on the front. The artwork captures a nostalgic, sentimental mood typical of Raphael Tuck & Sons postcards, known for their quality and collectible value. Printed in Germany as part of the Raphael Tuck & Sons Valentine Post Cards Series No. 101, this postcard dates back to 1911, evidenced by the postmark on the reverse. The card is standard size (approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches) and made of paper stock common for that era. It carries a one-cent green postage stamp and a clear cancellation mark from Bayton, adding historic authenticity. This original, unposted postcard is a delightful piece for collectors of vintage Valentine memorabilia, early 1900s ephemera, or Raphael Tuck & Sons productions.
