This postcard is a vintage Valentine's Day greeting featuring a cherubic young girl with curly blond hair, playing a large, ornate harp. She is dressed in a delicate, light blue gown adorned with gold stars and trim, standing barefoot among blooming rose bushes. In the background, an open window with a lace curtain shows a serene blue sky. Below the image, the phrase "To my Valentine" is elegantly scripted, enhancing the romantic and nostalgic feel of the card. The address side of this old postcard, printed in Germany, features meticulously detailed embossed floral patterns. It displays a green one-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin, postmarked "MONTGOMERY N.Y. 730A FEB 121910." The card is addressed to "Master George Hawkins, Chester, Orange Co., N.Y." with handwritten text from G. B. Gillerkei.Subject Person/Organization
