Antique embossed greeting postcard showing a sepia picture of a little girl in a wicker rocking chair hugging her doll, set in a raised gilt frame hanging by a tasseled cord against striped wallpaper. The verse reads "Oh! Dolly, dearest Dolly, do take this card of mine, and every time you read it remember I am thine." Standard size, divided back, vertical format, postally used. Light edge wear on the front; the back shows scattered foxing; see photos.

Postmarked East Palestine, Ohio, June 8, with a green one-cent Franklin stamp. Pencil note "E. Palestine, June 8th, from Mama," addressed to Mary Esther Burton, Salem, Ohio, R.D. 5. Small AA-in-circle publisher's logo and number at lower left of the back.

A sweet antique card for doll collectors and lovers of Victorian-style childhood imagery.
