Winsch New Year Poppies Postcard

1 Comment

This vintage postcard for “New Year Wishes” is by John Winsch, 1910. The postcard has a little booklet tied to it with a fabric bow that is now a little worn but is still pretty after 111 years. I wanted you to have it all so I’ve also scanned the postcard with each page of the booklet open.  Click on images to enlarge.
