Postcard 1910 Edwardian Ladies Antique Auto Motoring Forget-Me-Nots Mailed For Sale

Three Edwardian beauties ride in flower-garlanded glory aboard a gleaming red horseless carriage — two ladies in elaborate plumed hats wave to onlookers while a dapper young chauffeur grips the tiller of this early open-body automobile festooned with blue forget-me-nots. The chromolithographic image, richly colored and full of period charm, reflects the cultural fascination with motoring as glamour and leisure at the turn of the 20th century. Mailed from Cleveland\'s Station R on February 12, 1910, the card traveled within the city addressed to a Miss Adelaide — a Valentine\'s Day-adjacent greeting sent from Eleanor. The one-cent Benjamin Franklin green stamp (Scott #331 or similar) franks the card properly for the domestic postcard rate of the era.
