Step back in time with this charming greetings card from the 1890s, featuring a delightful straw hat design. The hat, crafted from natural-toned paper, boasts a blue lining adorned with intricately cut-out yellow primroses. Each petal and leaf is meticulously detailed, adding to the overall beauty of the card. The primroses, with their bright yellow hues and delicate green foliage, are a classic symbol of springtime and renewal. This card would have been the perfect way to send a cheerful message to a loved one during the early days of the season. The hat shape adds a playful and whimsical touch to the design, making it a standout piece among traditional greetings cards of the era.

It invites us to appreciate the simple joys of nature and the beauty of a handcrafted message, making it a cherished keepsake for collectors of vintage greetings cards and ephemera.
