Purple Velvet Dress

The little girl's dress on this postcard is actually soft and velvety.  Not surprisingly, the card was printed in Germany.  At the turn of the century, most of the outstanding cards were printed there.

    Many paper doll collectors search out "flocked" clothing such as this. Adorable. A nicely preserved card, considering the detail on the velvet dress is still discernable.

    That's a really lovely card: I've never seen one quite like it!

    Thanks for showing the back of the postcard. I really like seeing the back of embossed cards almost as much as the front. Really nice!
