  • Her blue eyes sought the west afar,

  • They hold each other still.

  • Postmarked in Chicago, 1911

  • A hush between letters, where silence speaks.

A stunningly framed early American postcard, this 1911 chromolithograph captures a tender, if bittersweet, embrace. The quote by Walter Scott reads: "Her blue eyes sought the west afar, for lovers love the western star."

A young woman gazes wistfully across golden fields while her suitor clings to the moment beside her. Her attention, though, is already elsewhere. The horizon calls.

Mailed in 1911 from Chicago, the back message reads:

Dear Friend Myra,
Why don’t you write often?
For I am waiting everyday for some mail from you.
Love and Kisses,
Jullian
