The First Letter
She clutches it close, against her chest, against her breath, as if its words had just landed softly in the room. Her posture says she hasn’t read it fully yet. Not out loud. Not to herself. But something has changed. You can see it in her slight smile, the calm arch of her foot, the way the light brushes her face.
This hand-tinted German postcard from the early 1900s depicts a young woman in soft lilac, pearls at her neck, and the first letter of a new romance in her hand. A second envelope rests at her feet—unopened, or already known. The domestic interior holds signs of beauty: draped curtains, cut flowers, and a subtle golden frame watching over her.
Printed by W.S.S. B. with the number 6431, this unsigned card is rich in detail, excellent condition, and full of layered feeling.
