EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite postcard, dated 1917, showcases the breathtaking Art Nouveas and early Art Deco stylings of an American Greetings card titled "To My Own Good Mother." The intricately designed border, adorned with flowing organic forms and sinuous lines, is a testament to the artistic movement's commitment to nature and the organic world. The colorful palette, with its rich hues and subtle shading, adds depth and vibrancy to the overall composition. The poem inscribed on the card reads: "To My Own Good Mother, Whose love is a beacon, A guiding light in the night, Whose gentle touch comforts, And makes all things right. May the sunshine of happiness, And the rain of love, Fall softly upon you, And may your days be filled, With joy and peace from above." The sentiment expressed in the poem further emphasizes the card's role as a token of affection and appreciation. Despite its age, this postcard remains a timeless piece of artistic expression. The sinuous lines and organic forms of Art Nouveau, combined with the geometric shapes and bold lines of early Art Deco, create a unique and captivating visual language that continues to inspire artists and designers to this day. The kitsch appeal of this collectible postcard lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to evoke emotions and convey heartfelt messages.
